The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter B "20".

The current area is 120(80)=9600 and he want to expand it by 4400 so that the new area will be 9600+4400=14000 

14000=(120+x)(80+x) 

14000=9600+200x+x^2 

x^2+200x-4400=0 

x^2-20x+220x-4400=0 

x(x-20)+220(x-20)=0 

(x+220)(x-20)=0, since x is an increase it must be greater than zero so 

x=20ft 

(120+20)(80+20)=14000ft^2


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

11. 5x + 5 what does it equal to
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay this is an odd question, but what i'm thinking is that

first you have

5x+5

To actually be able to solve we have to move the 5 to the other side.

To do this we subtract it.

Making the equation

5x = -5

Then you need to isolate the variable (X)

So divide 5X by 5, and then divide -5/5

Which leaves you with:

x=-1

Find an expression for the nth term ( tn ) in each of the following sequences:
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The expression for the nth term is Tn = 8n -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to find an expression for the nth term of the sequence.

Mathematically, the nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be expressed as;

Tn = a + (n-1)d

for T2, the equation is

a + d = 9

for T4, the equation is

a + 3d = 25

we can substitute the equation of T2 into T4 but we first need to rewrite T4

a + d + 2d = 25

9 + 2d = 25

2d = 25 -9

2d = 16

d = 16/2

d = 8

now since a + d = 9

a = 9-d

a = 9-8

a = 1

So the expression for the nth term would be;

1 + (n-1)8

1 + 8n - 8

= 8n -8+1

= 8n -7

I have a question that says " jada has read 3/5 of a book. She has read 75 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book?"
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we would multiply by the reciprocal of the portion Jada has read, and multiply that number to 75.

The reciprocal means the the value, but flipped, so \frac{3}{5} will become \frac{5}{3}.

Now we do 75 times \frac{5}{3}/

\frac{75 * 5}{3} \\\\\\\\\frac{375}{3} \\\\\\\\125

So, there are 125 total pages in the book.
