Answer:

width = 5 feet

length = 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using one variable and setting up two expressions equal to the total area of the rectangle will determine the dimensions of the rectangle.

w = width

l = '4 feet less than three times the width' or 3w - 4

Area = length x width

A = w(3w - 4) = 55

Distribute: 3w² - 4w  = 55

Set equation equal to '0': 3w² - 4w - 55 = 0

Multiply 3 x -55 = -165 and find two factors with a product of -165 and sum of -4:  -15 and 11.

3w² - 15w + 11w - 55

Group and find the GCF (greatest common factor):

3w(w - 5) + 11(w - 5)

(3w + 11)(w - 5) = 0

3w + 11 = 0    and w - 5 = 0

w = -11/3 not possible to have negative measurement

w = 5 feet

Solve for length:  3(5) - 4 = 11 feet

Hannah and Dawson have both invested money in savings accounts with APYs of 3.2%. If Hannah's account has a balance of $31,000 a
9966 [12]

Answer:

$341.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Hanna and Dawson both invested at 3.2% = 0.032

Hannah has balance of 31,000 in account

Dawson has balance of 42000 in account

Interests earned by both are

1)Hannah -P(1+i)^-n

=31000(1+0.032)^-1

=31000(1.032)^-1

=31000(0.968992)

=$30038.752

=$30038.75

Interest earned by Dawson is $31,000 - $30038.75 = $961.25

2)Dawson-  P(1+i)^-n

=42000(1+0.032)^-1

=42000(1.032)^-1

=42000(0.968992)

=$40697.664

=$$40697.664

Interest earned by Dawson is $42,000 - $40697.66= $1302.32

3) Hence the amount that Dawson earns than is:

=$1302.32-$961.25

= $341.07

HELP! What is the value of X in the following parallelogram? WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Set 3x - 2 equal to 5x - 6 to get x</u>

3x - 2 = 5x - 6

<u>Step 2:  Solve for x</u>

3x - 2 + 6 - 3x = 5x - 6 + 6 - 3x

4 / 2 = 2x / 2

2 = x

Answer:  x = 2

The measures of two supplementary angles total 180 degrees. The measure of angle y is 65 degrees less than the measure of angle
iVinArrow [24]
The measures of the angles are given to be x and y. Since y is 65 degrees less than the measure of angle x then, it can also be expressed as x - 65. The sum of the angles x and y should be 180 degrees as they are supplementary angles, 
                                    x + y = 180
                                   x + (x - 65) = 180
The value of x is 122.5 and that of y is 57.5. Therefore, the measures of the angles are 122.5 and 57.5.
