Set up an equation. Make the length x and you can make the width x-5. In order to fir the width is 5 feet smaller than the length. Now the formula for area is length times width. So plug in what you know.
x(x-5)=14 distribute the x
X^2-5x=14 move the 14 over
X^2-5x-14=0 use factoring to figure out
(X-7)(X+2)=0
Now x can equal 7 and negative 2
Since the length cannot be negative we get rid of negative 2
So we have x equals 7 plug that in. We get length =7 and width =2

Hello There!

Area = l x w
14 = x * x - 5
Multiples of 14:
1 and 14
7 and 2
7 and 2 are the only ones with a difference of 5.

Therefore, the length is 7ft and the width is 2ft.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Which of the following best defines a function?
Sidana [21]
Answer: <span>A. A function is a special type of relation for which there is a rule that pairs each input with exactly one output.

Option B is incorrect because it does not include that there cannot be two x-values with the same y-value. Option C is incorrect because it is a relation, not just a set of ordered pairs. Option D is incorrect because there <em>is</em> a particular pattern in a function.

Hope this helps!</span>

Jade has $60. She wants to buy some movies that cost $11 each. Jade wants to have at least $20 remaining.
Anni [7]

Answer:

60-11x < 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first set out all the information we know.

  • Jade has only $60, so we cannot go above the amount she has.
  • Each movie costs $11
  • She wants at LEAST $20 remaining  

So, the first thing that will be in the inequality would be $60. Since you are wasting money, you have to subtract.

The thing that will be subtracted more than once is $11, so it will have the variable "x" added to it.

What we have so far is:

60-11x

Because this is an inequality, we will have a less than sign.

After that, we can conclude that $20 will come next because that is at the end of the problem.

So, the answer is:

60-11x < 20

How long will it take for $6400 to grow to $43,800 at an interest rate of 3.4% if the interest is compounded continuously?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

57.53years to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

For compound interest,A=P(1+r/100)^t

where r=rate of interest

t= investment tenor

$43800=6400(1+3.4/100)^t

which simplifies to 57.5250≈57.53 to the nearest hundredth
