Area of a rectangle = l * w

l = length

w = width

In this problem,

w = x

l = 2x - 4

Area = 70 in^2.

Plug these numbers into the area formula above.

70 = (2x - 4)x.

Distribute the x

70 = 2x^2 - 4x.

Subtract 70 from both sides

0 = 2x^2 -4x - 70

Factor the expression on the right side

0 = 2(x - 7) (x + 5) .

Set each term equal to zero

2 = 0.

x + 5 = 0.

Subtract 5 from each side

x = -5. Side lengths cannot he negative so we need to check the last term

x - 7 = 0

Add 7 to each side

x = 7

The width = 7 and we know that the length = 2(width) - 4, therefore,

l = 2(7) - 4

Simplify the expression

l = 10

The length is 10 inches and the width is 7 inches

1. Over the six months what was the average market price per share?
lozanna [386]
A) The average market price is (12 + 8 + 10 + 13 + 14 + 8) / 6 = $10.83

b) The total amount spent was: 12*8 + 8*12 + 10*10 + 13*7 + 14*7 + 8*12 = $577. The total number of shares was: 8 + 12 + 10 + 7 + 7 + 12 = 56. Therefore the average price per share was $577 / 56 shares = $10.30/share.
c) Since the cost per share in June was $12, and her average cost was $10.30, dollar-cost averaging worked in her favor since her average cost was lower.
