Answer:

l = 24ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

360 = (x + 9)(x)

360 = x^2 + 9x

0 = x^2 + 9x - 360

0 = (x + 24)(x - 15)

x ≠ -24 (length cannot be negative)

x = 15

l = 15 + 9

l = 24ft

Tan weighs 146 pounds. Minh weighs 15 pounds more than Tan. How much does Minh weigh?

dimaraw [331]

Given parameters:

Weight of Tan = 146pounds

Unknown:

Weight of Minh = ?

Following this problem step wisely, we can derive a solvable algebraic equation;

Let the weight of Minh = M

In the second sentence, we see that Minh weighs 15pounds more than Tan;

So;

M = 15 + Weight of Tan

Since we already know the weight of Tan,

Weight of Minh = 15 + 146 = 161pounds

We clearly see that Minh's weight will be 161 pounds.

Two customers went to a post office to buy postcards and large envelopes. Each postcard

astraxan [27]

The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the postcards

y be the large envelops

According to given statement;

14x+5y=12 Eqn 1

10x+15y=24.80 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3;

$3(14x+5y=12)\\42x+15y=36\ \ \ Eqn \ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3;

$(42x+15y)-(10x+15y)=36-24.80\\42x+15y-10x-15y=11.20\\32x=11.20\\$

Dividing both sides by 32

$\frac{32x}{32}=\frac{11.20}{32}\\x=0.35$

Putting x=0.35 in Eqn 1;

$14(0.35)+5y=12\\4.90+5y=12\\5y=12-4.90\\5y=7.10$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{7.10}{5}\\y=1.42$

Therefore, one large envelope costs $1.42

The right answer is Option A.
