A = LW
A = 120
W = L - 2

120 = L(L-2)
120 = L^2 - 2L
L^2 - 2L - 120 = 0
(L - 12)(L + 10) = 0

L - 12 = 0
L = 12

L + 10 = 0
L = -10 (extraneous solution...will not work)

length (L) = 12 ft
width (W) = L - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft

Cary sets up a checking account with an initial balance of $27,700, and the rent for her
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$1,650

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how much she paid the whole year. 27,700-x=7900. If we subtract 7900 from each side and add x to each side, we get 19,800=x. Therefore, she paid $19,800 in rent the whole year. Since there are 12 months in a year, and each month she paid the same, she paid $1,650 in rent each year, for 19800/12=1650

Kim's weekly pay is two thirds of Alicia's.Together they earn $600 per week
garik1379 [7]
A + k = 600
k = 2/3a

a + 2/3a = 600
3/3a + 2/3a = 600
5/3a = 600
a = 600 * 3/5
a = 1800/5
a = 360

k = 2/3a
k = 2/3(360)
k = 720/3
k = 240

so Kim's pay is $ 240 and Alicia's pay is $ 360
