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*

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$58.84375, rounded ≈ $58.84

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do 67.25 x 7/8 (use a calc if you are lazy) = 58.84375

I'm guessing you don't need to round so I'm going to add both real and rounded answers

Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that num
stepladder [879]

Question:

Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that number and 26.

What is the solution set of this problem?

Answer:

x \leq -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent the number with x</em>

So:

5 * (x + 27) \geq 6 * (x + 26)

Required

Determine the solution set

5 * (x + 27) \geq 6 * (x + 26)

Open Both Brackets

5 * x + 5 * 27 \geq 6 *x + 6 * 26

5x + 135 \geq 6x + 156

Collect Like Terms

5x - 6x \geq 156-135

- x \geq 21

Multiply both sides by -1

x \leq -21

Hence, the solution set is x \leq -21
