Given a rectangle with an area of 20 square units, if the width is x units and the length is x + 1 units, what is the difference

ollegr [7]

Answer: 1unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle

A = length × width

Since the area = 20 and the width is x and the length is x + 1.

We now substitute for the values in the above formula and solve for x

20 = x × x + 1

20 = x( x + 1 ), we now open

20 = x² + x , then re arrange.

x² + x - 20 = 0, this is a quadratic equation.we solve for x using quadratic means

Here, I am going to solve using factorization by grouping

x² + x - 20 = 0

x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = 0

x( x + 5 ) - 4( x + 5 ) = 0

( x + 5 )( x - 4 ). = 0

Therefore, the solution for x will be

x = -5 or 4, but x can not be -5 ( negative), so x = 4.

Now the difference between width and the length can easily be calculated from the above,

Width = 4 (x) , and length = 5 (4 + 1),

Now difference will be

5 - 4 = 1unit.

Darlene has 59 pages to type. so far she gas type 23 pages. what fraction of the job is finished

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$\frac{23}{59}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction can be found be taking the current amount over the total amount:

$\frac{current}{total}=\frac{23}{59}$

Since Darlene has only typed 23 pages out of 59, her fraction is 23 over 59. Fractions must always be in simplest form, which means that both the numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same factor. Since the numbers 23 and 59 are both prime and have no other factors other than 1 and themselves, the fraction 23/59 is in simplest form.

A store is having a sale on liquid soap and sponges. The cost of 6 bottles of soap is $9.12. The cost of 4 sponges is $5.00 what

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$6.79

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the cost of a bottle of soap. We divide the cost by the number of bottles

$9.12/6 = $1.52 per bottle

We also need to find the cost for a sponge

$5.00/4 = $1.25 per sponge

We want to find the total cost of 2 bottles of soap and 3 sponges

cost = 2 * 1.52 + 3 * 1.25

= 3.04 + 3.75

= 6.79
