Let width be x feet 
then the length = 2x + 3 feet

then the area  = x(2x + 3) = 20

2x^2 + 3x - 20 = 0

(2x - 5)(x + 4) = 0

x = 2.5 or -4 ( ignore the negative value)

so the deimnasions are width = 2.5 feet and length = 2(2.5) + 3 =  8 feet

L*w=20, so l=20/w
l=2w+3

20/w=2w+3
20=2w^2+3w
2w^2+3w-20=0

Slip and slide
w^2+3w-40
(w+8)(w-5)
(w+8/2)(w-5/2)
(w+4)(2w-5)

w= -4 or 5/2, but since width must be positive, it is 5/2

(5/2)*l=20
l=8

Final answer: Length= 8, Width= 5/2

Can u tell me the answers and how u got them? <br>questions 23-27<br>thx
Nimfa-mama [501]
I only know 23
6x-4 x=4-6=-10
4x+24 x=24-4=20
So! 20-(-10)=10 or 30 because you change the sign with this rule
if the sign are the same you keep change, change. which means keep 20 change - to + and change - to +, so then it becomes 20+(+10)

A new car is purchased for $47, 000 and over time its value depreciates by one half
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

you can figure it out by going in increments of 4.5 years because that is the info you have from the problem so

47000 4.5 years later is 23500

9 years = 11750

13.5y = 5875

18y = 2937.5

22.5 years later is 1468.75

22.5 years is about 23 years and to the nearest hundred dollars that is $1500 so that is the answer

Hope this helps! :)
