Find the dimensions of a rectangle whose width is 7 miles less than its length and whose areas is 78 square miles.

1 answer:

8 0

W = L - 7
WL = 78

(L-7)L = 78

L^2 - 7L - 78 = 0
Factorize: (L-13)(L+6) = 0

L = 13 or -6

A length cannot be negative, so the length must be 13 miles.
The width is 13-7 = 6 miles.

If the product of two consecutive odd integers is decreased by one-third the lesser integer, the result is 150. find the integer

dlinn [17]

X(x+2)-(1/3)x=150
x²+2x-(1/3)x-150=0
x²+(5/3)x-150=0
3x²+5x-450=0
this does not produce an integer, because b²-2ac=5²+4*3*450=5425, and √5425=73.6546 is not an integer.

(2)(5)-(-2)÷[(4)(5)+(-2)]

klio [65]

(2)(5) - (-2) ÷ [(4)(5) + (-2)] Multiply (2)(5)
10 - (-2) ÷ [(4)(5) + (-2)] Multiply (4)(5)
10 - (-2) ÷ [(20) + (-2)] Simplify the double negative
10 + 2 ÷ [(20) + (-2)] Add 20 + (-2) = 20 - 2
10 + 2 ÷ 18 Add 10 + 2
12 ÷ 18 Divide 12 ÷ 18
$\frac{12}{18}$ Simplify
$\frac{2}{3}$
