Answer:

The answer to your question is l = 12 and w = 7/2 or 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = l

width = w

Area = 42 yd²

Process

1) Write equations that help to solve this problem

Area = length x width = l x w

Length = 2width + 5  or   l = 2w + 5

2) Substitution

                       42 = lw                               Equation l

                          l = 2w + 5                        Equation ll

                       42 = (2w + 5)w                   Substitute equation ll in l

3.- Expand

                       42 = 2w² + 5w

                       2w² + 5w - 42 = 0

Solve the equation by factoring

-Multiply 2 by 42

                             2 x 42 = 84

-Find the prime factors of 84

                         84 = 2² 3 7

-Find two numbers that added gives +5 using the prime factors

 These numbers are +12 and -7    

-Substitute the values in the equation

                         2w² -7w + 12w - 42

-Factor by grouping

                        w(2w - 7) + 6(2w - 7)                  

                           (2w - 7)(w + 6)

-Find w

                    2w₁ - 7 = 0             w₂ + 6 = 0

                      w₁ = 7/2               w₂ = -6   This value is discarted because

                                                                  there are no negative values

-Find l

                     l = 2(7/2) + 5

                     l = 7 + 5

                     l = 12

A merchant buys a television for $125 and sells it for a retail price of $200. What is the markup
beks73 [17]
The markup is the percent of the original price that it is increased by. To determine the percentage marked up, you will subtract the new price and the original price, and then divide that by the original price.

200-125=$75

75/200=0.375 or 37.5% markup.

Answer:

1. A is the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis is the statement in which everything is operating as expected; nothing unusual is going on.

2. C is the alternative hypothesis. The problem says that you are looking to see whether or not the machine is filling with an average of 24 ounces, so it could be over or under filling. B only accounts for under filling.
