Let x = width length = 5x -10  (10 ft less than 5 times width) A = l * w A = (5x-10)*x 2640 = 5x2 -10x 5x2 -10x -2640=0 divide by 5 x2 -2x - 528 = 0 (x-24)(x+22)=0 x-24=0 x=24   width (the other factor would give us a negative length) length = 5*24 -10 length = 110

The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

The inequality is 75+4t ≥ 400, and they must sell at least 82 tickets.

Explanation:

t is the number of tickets sold. They start out with $75, so that is where our inequality begins. Each ticket is $4; this gives us the expression 4t. Together with the $75 carry over, we have 75+4t.

They must make at least $400 to pay for the dance. This means it must be more than or equal to 400; this gives us 75+4t ≥ 400.

To solve this, first subtract 75 from each side:

75+4t-75 ≥ 400-75

4t ≥ 325

Divide both sides by 4:

4t/4 ≥ 325/4

t ≥ 81.25

We cannot sell a portion of a ticket, so we round. While mathematically this number would "round down," if they only sell 81 tickets, they will not have enough money. Therefore we round up to 82.

gavmur [86]
The area of a rectangle is the result of multiplying its length times its width. So the rectangles length and width are factor pairs of the area.

The number 36 has four non-equal, whole number factor pairs: (1,36) ; (2,18) ; (3,13) ; (4,9)

*note : (6,6) makes a square not rectangle

The number 15 has only two whole number factor pairs (1,15) and (3,5)
