Answer:

New dimensions are; Width = 12m and Length = 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangle be L

Let width be W

Area of rectangle has a formula;

Area = Length x Width = LW

We are given the area = 144 m²

So,

LW = 144 - - - (eq1)

Now, we are told that width is doubled and length is decreased by 12m but area remains the same.

Thus, we have;

Width as 2W and Length as L - 12.

Area = 2W(L - 12)

So,

2W(L - 12) = 144 - - - (eq2)

Equating eq 1 and 2,we have;

LW = 2W(L - 12)

W will cancel out to give;

L = 2(L - 12)

L = 2L - 24

2L - L = 24

L = 24m

From equation 1, LW = 144

Thus; W = 144/L = 144/24

W = 6m

So new design of rectangle now has a dimension of;

Width = 2W = 2 × 6 = 12m

Length = L - 12 = 24 - 12 = 12m

So, new dimensions are; Width = 12m and Length = 12m

A craftsman can sell 10 jewelry sets for $500 each. He knows
liraira [26]

Answer:15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Craftsman sell 10 Jewelry set for $500 each

For each additional set he will decrease the price by $ 25

Suppose he sells n set over 10 set

Earning=\text{Price of each set}\times \text{no of set}

Earning =(500-25n)(10+n)

E=5000+500n-25n^2-250n

differentiate to get the maximum value

\frac{dE}{dn}=-50n+250

Equate \frac{dE}{dn} to get maximum value

-50n+250=0

n=\frac{250}{50}

n=5

Thus must sell 5 extra set to maximize its earnings.

(9-4) + 3•8 = 29

Explanation

First you need to apply the PEMDAS rule

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtract

So when solving the problem you first have to solve what’s in Parentheses first. So (9-4) which would equal 5

Next, according to the PEMDAS rule you’d have to do multiplication next. So 3•8 is equal to 24

And finally, the last step is Addition. After you’ve done the Parentheses and Multiplication you have to add up your answers. 5+24 would be 29

Answer= 29
