Answer:

W=(x-6)\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of rectangle is given by the formula

A=LW

we have

A=(x^2-4x-12)\ m^2

L=(x+2)\ m

substitute

x^2-4x-12=(x+2)W

Solve the quadratic equation of the left side

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

x^2-4x-12=0  

so

a=1\\b=-4\\c=-12

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{-4^{2}-4(1)(-12)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{64}} {2}

x=\frac{4\pm8} {2}

x=\frac{4+8} {2}=6

x=\frac{4-8} {2}=-2

therefore

x^2-4x-12=(x+2)(x-6)  

substitute in the formula of area

(x+2)(x-6)=(x+2)W

solve for W

simplify

W=(x-6)\ m

solniwko [45]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Infiniti sells 8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices.

Now, 8 different models of cars with 5 different trim levels have (8 × 5) = 40 choices.

Similarly, with  8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices, there will be total (40 × 5) = 200 options one could choose. ( Answer )

If you had a billion dollars and you spend one dollar every second how many years would it take you to spend it all
trapecia [35]

Answer: 31.71 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how many seconds are in a day.

There are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute.

There are 3,600 seconds in an hour. How did we find this? 60 (min) x 60 (sec)

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. 24 (hr) x 3,600 (sec)

Now we need to find how many seconds are in a year.

There are 365 days in a year, we can multiply that by 86,400.

365 x 86,400 = 31,536,000

Whew! Now that we have that out the way, we can now divide $1 billion by 31,536,000 seconds.

1,000,000,000/31,536,000 = 31.71 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

If you had a billion dollars, it will take 31.71 years to spend one dollar every second.
