Let's say, the amount that each side was increased was "a"
so, it was 5 wide and 12 long, now it's 5+a wide and 12+a long

we know the area is 120, so whatever "a" is, we know that

(5+a)(12+a) = 120

so   \bf (5+a)(12+a) = 120\implies 60+17a+a^2=120
\\\\\\
a^2+\underline{17} a\underline{-60}=0\qquad \qquad 
\begin{cases}
20\cdot -3\implies \underline{-60}\\\\
20-3\implies \underline{17}
\end{cases}

use those factors, solve for "a"

Answer:

The answer is t\geq 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality, start by solving for the variable t.

To solve for the variable t, subtract 3.5t from both sides. The inequality will look like 6.5t\geq 130.

Then, divide both sides by 6.5 in order to get the variable t by itself. The inequality answer will look like t\geq  20.

Select the correct answer.

Answer:

Before Tim ate any of the jellybeans, here are numbers: 

pineapple or p  =10

raspberry or  r = 10

orange or o = 10

 

Tim has eaten 6 orange and 4 pineapple jellybeans. Hence, what's left are: 

 p = 10-4 =6

o = 10-6 =4

r = 10 so now total jelly beans are 20

So the probability of getting a raspberry is: 

p(r) = number of r/total

10/20 or 50%
