Answer:
width = 3.5 m
length = 18 m
Step-by-step explanation:
area = length x width
x is the width then length = 2x + 11
x(2x + 11) = 63
2x^2 + 11x - 63 = 0
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
with a = 2
b = 11
c = -63
substitute in the formula
x = [-11 +/- √(11^2 - 4(2)(-63))]2(2)
x = [-11 +/- √(121 + 504)]/4
x = [-11 +/- √625]/4
x = (-11 +/- 25)/4
x1 = (-11 + 25)/4 = 14/4 = 3.5
x2 = (-11 - 25)/4 = -36/4 = -9
since width can't be a negative number, x is 3.5
length = 2x + 11 = 2(3.5) + 11 = 18
Hi,
Let Sydney's age be x.
Devaughn=(x-15)
x+(x-15)=37
x+x-15=37
2x-15=37
2x=37+15
2x=52
x=52/2
x=26
Sydney is 26 years old.
Hope this Helps you.
Answer:
17/15
Step-by-step explanation:
2+x=2x-15
>> 2+15=2x-x
>> 17 = x
So the answer is <u>17</u>
