Answer:
L=21.6in and w=13.6
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length is 8 inches longer than its width, we can write the width as "w" and the length as the width w+ 8
Area is (width)(Length) = (width)(width+8)
W
----------

| | L = w+8

-----------
A = (w+8)(w)
A = w2 + 8w = 295.
(Problem states that area is 295 sq in)
Need to solve this quadratic equation
w2 +8y - 295 = 0
Factor:
(w - 13.64) (w + 21.64) = 0
So
w - 13.64 = 0. or. w + 21.64= 0
Solve these and get
w = 13.64. or. w = -21.64
Only one that makes sense in real life is the poitive one.
So the dimensions are
Width = 13.64 inches
Length = 21.64 inches
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3 or y = 3
Locate y = 3 on the y- axis , go horizontally across to meet the line at (1, 3 )
Then
When f(x) = 3 , x = 1
this can be turned into an equation to be solved more easily. so the amount of bananas can be x. there are 17 peaches. So the equation would be:
(17 - 3) ÷ 2 = x
you begin with what's inside the parenthesis
17 - 3 = 14.
14 ÷2 = 7
x = 7
there are 7 bananas in the bag of bananas
Step 1. Identify the variable.
Step 2. Write an algebraic equation.
Step 3. Solve the equation.
Step 4. Answer the equation.
Step 5. Check answer.
