Its B just took the test the answer is B
Area = length *width
A = x²
3x² = (x+10)(x+12)
3x² = x²+10x+12x+120
3x² = x²+22x+120
3x²-3x² = x²+22x+120-3x²
0 = -2x²+22x+120
Factor to solve for x:
-2(x²-11x-60)
(x+4)(x-15)
x = -4 & x = 15 but we can't have a negative length so we eliminate 4. The length of the square is 15 cm.
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
Given the marginal propensity to consume (MPC), the miltiplier is given by
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)
Given that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, the multiplier is given by
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 1 / 0.2 = 5
