Answer:

Dimensions of the garden are 24 feet by 8.33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimensions of the vegetable garden is length = l and width = w foot

Area of the vegetable garden = 200 square feet

Since length of the garden is 1 foot less than the 3 times the width.

l = 3w - 1

Area of the garden = w × l = 200

w(3w - 1) = 200

3w² - w = 200

3w² - w - 200 = 0

By quadratic formula

w = \frac{1\pm \sqrt{1^{2}+2400}}{6}

  = \frac{1\pm \sqrt{2401}}{6}

  = \frac{1\pm 49}{6}

w = -8 or 8.33 foot

Since dimensions can not be negative therefore, width of the garden will be 8.33 foot

Since l = 3w - 1

           = 3×8.33 - 1

           = 25 - 1

           = 24

Dimensions of the garden are 24 feet by 8.33 feet

Ok so I like to go in steps with these questions- first draw a picture and identify your variables.

W=width
L= 3w-1

Now we know that length times width gets us area so we plug in our variables into the area equation.

200 = w(3w-1)

When you foil that equation you end up with a quadratic : 3w^2-w-200 = 0

Either factor that or use the quadratic formula to get
w= 8.33 and w= -8

Since you can't have a negative dimension you need to use 8.33 and plug it back into your length equation.

Final answer:

w= 8.33ft
l= 23.99ft

*Now I simplified the decimals a little bit so you end up with 199.8ft^2 for the area so just add a few decimals on here and there*

Motorbikes have two wheels and cars have four wheels. There are a number of
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

74 Cars

Step-by-step explanation:

If each motorbike has 2 wheels then we need to find how many wheels the motorbikes already take up.

We do this by doing 14*2 and we get 28 wheels.

Afterwards, we subtract this from the total of 324 to see how many wheels are left over. 324-28=296

Now we know the remaining amount of wheels and with this we can get our final answer!

Since there are 296 remaining wheels and each car takes up 4 we can divide 296 by 4 to see how many cars would be able to get their full set of tires.

296/4 = 74 and that;s how you get 74 cars!

*I think LOL*

Misty and yesenia have a group of base ten blocks. Misty had six more blocks than Yesenia. Yesenias blocks represent 17. Togethe
V125BC [204]
Ok, so the only possible/reasonable answer is:

Yesenia has 1 base ten block and 7 cubic inches blocks.

(8 blocks in total)
(total units: 17)

while, Misty has 6 base ten blocks and 8 cubic blocks.

(14 blocks in total)
(total units: 68)

68+17=85 (85 is the total number of units, with Misty and Yesenia added together, as said in the word problem)

14-8=6 (6 is the total number of blocks Misty has more the Yesenia, as said in the word problem)

14+8=22 (22 is the total number of blocks Misty and Yesenia have altogether)
