<h2>Length = 11</h2><h2>Width = 6</h2>

The area of a rectangle is 66 ft^2:

L * W = 66

Length of the rectangle is 7 feet less than three times the width:

L = 3W-7

Substitute L in terms of W:

(3W-7) * W = 66

Factorise the equation:

3W^2 -7W = 66

3W^2 - 7W - 66 = 0

Factors of 66 =

1 66, 2 33, 3 22, 6 11

(3W + 11) (W - 6) = 0

Solve for W:

3W + 11 = 0

3W = 11

W = 3/11

W - 6 = 0

W = 0 + 6

W = 6

Using the original equation, find L:

L = 3W-7

L = 3(6)-7

L = 18-7

L = 11

L * W = 66

11 * 6 = 66

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length * width =Area

3(x-7)*x=66

x^2-7x-22=0

Solve for 'x' using quadratic formula

Now width=9.35234995ft

Length=7.05704985ft

Suppose the a mountain bike that sells for $419 is on sale for 20.5% off.
nata0808 [166]
Regular price:  $419
Sale price:  (1-0.205)($419) = $333.11

The bike will cost $333.11 before tax.  You haven't shared the tax rate, but I can at least tell you that the cost of the bike after tax will be 

(1.00 + rate as a decimal fraction)*$333.11.

Example:  If the tax rate is 7.5%, then the bike will cost (1.00+0.075)*($333.11).

Solve this and get 12 points
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find <em>x</em>. Since <em>x</em> is the average of the three number, add the three up and then divided by three. Thus:

x=\frac{13+-16+6}{3}=3/3=1

<em>y</em> is the cube root of 8. Thus:

y=\sqrt[3]{8}=2

So:

x^2+y^3\\=(1)^2+(2)^3\\=1+8=9

Exponential growth would include, A = 20,000(1.08)^t, A=40(30), P=1700(1.07).

Decay would include, A=80(1/2)^t, A= 1600(.8), P=1700(.93)

Hope this helps.
