Kathy is fencing in her yard that has an area of 800 square feet. Her yard is in the shape of a rectangle where the length is 60

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be:

W: width of the yard.

L:length.

Now, we can write the equation of that relates length and width:

$L=5W-60$ (Equation #1)

The area of the yard can be expressed as (using equation #1 into #2):

$Area=W*L=W*(5W-60)$ (Equation #2)

Since the Area of the yard is $800 ft^2$ , then equation #2 turns into:

$800=W*(5W-60)$

Now, we rearrange this equation:

$800=W*(5W-60)//800=5W^2-60W//5W^2-60W-800=0$

We can divide the equation by 5 :

$W^2-12W-160=0$

We need to find the solution for this quadratic. Let's find the factors of 160 that multiplied yields -160 and added yields -12. Let's choose -20 and 8, since $(-20)*8=160$ and $-20+8=-12$ . The equation factorised looks like this:

$(W-20)(W+8)=0$

Therefore the possible solutions are W=20 and W=-8. We discard W=-8 since width must be a positive number. To find the length, we substitute the value of W in equation #1:

$5*20-60=40$

Therefore, the dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.

Ruby wanted to get an iPod for 350$ she already had 52$ saved and if she worked for 8 hours a week for 9$ an hour how many weeks

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

I believe that the answer is 4.13 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she already has $52 you can automatically start by doing:

$350 - $52 = $298

Since she works 8 hours a week and earns $9 per hour:

8 hours x $9 = $72

Then, take $298 ÷ $72 = 4.13 or about 4 weeks

I divide 298 by 72 because $72 is how much she will earn per week, and by dividing this number by the total amount that she has left to pay narrows it down to about how long she has to save for.

Hope this helps!!
