Answer: length = 24 ft

Width = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the barn.

Let W represent the width of the barn.

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. This means that

LW = 192- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

It's length is 8 ft longer than twice it's width. This means that

L = 2W + 8

Substituting L = 2W + 8 into equation 1, it becomes

W(2W + 8) = 192

2W² + 8W = 192

2W² + 8W - 192 = 0

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

W² + 4W - 96 = 0

W² + 12W - 8W - 96 = 0

W(W + 12) - 8(W + 12) = 0

(W - 8)(W + 12) = 0

W = 8 or W = - 12

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 8

L = 192/W = 192/8

L = 24

Each morning, max walks to school. at 8:20, he passes a stoplight that is 2 blocks from home. he reaches the town library at 8:2
frosja888 [35]
This sentence is key: "At this point, he is 3 blocks from school and half way there" 
<span>since 3 blocks is halfway of the trip, that means the total distance is 6 blocks </span>

<span>from the stoplight to the library must be one block, and one block took him 4 minutes </span>

<span>therefore, therefore, the total trip takes 4 * 6 = 24 minutes, or 4 * 3 = 12 minutes from the library </span>

<span>8:24 + 12 = 8:36 </span>

<span>he arrives at school at 8:36 </span>
<span>(and yes, make sure to sketch this out!)</span>

Solve for x using the Quadratic Formula: x2 + 4x + 4 = 0<br> -b + Vb2 - 4ac<br> x=<br> 2a
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, a is 1, b is 4 and c is 4.

-4 plus or minus the square root of 4^2 - 4 * 1 * 4 divided by 2 * 1 = -4 plus or minus the square root of 16 - 16 / 2 = -4 plus or minus the square root of 0 / 2 = -4 / 2 = -2.

x = -2.

Hope this helps!
