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

Melissa decided to divide her $42,000 of savings into three investments: a savings account paying 5% simple interest, a time dep
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Amount in savings account = $24,000

amount put into time deposit account = $11,000

amount put into bond account = $7,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be amount put into savings account, y be amount put into time deposit account and z be amount put into bond account.

Thus;

0.05x + 0.07y + 0.09z = 2600 - - (eq1)

Also,

x + y + z = 42,000 - - - (eq2)

Now,we are told she invested 6000 more in the savings account than the other 2 combined. Thus;

x = 6000 + y + z

So,

x - y - z = 6000 - - - (eq3)

Solving the 3 equations simultaneously gives;

x = $24,000 ; y = $11,000 ; z = $7,000

Answer:

\text{A. }y=1.30x+1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The two ringtones will cost her a total of 0.75\cdot 2=1.50 and is a fixed amount. The relationship between the cost and number of songs only is y=1.30x and therefore the answer is \boxed{\text{A. }y=1.30x+1.50}. You can also directly find the answer by finding the y-intercept (in this case 1.50), as no other answer choices include the term 1.50, so A must be the correct answer.

Ivahew [28]
If we have 300 animals total, and the ratio of cats to all animals is 7 : 15 or 7/15, we can multiply that fraction/ratio by the total, so 300 * 7 /15 = 20 * 7 = 140.
