<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

What value of x will make this expression equal to 28.1? A) x=0 is the only value that will make the expression equal to 28.1 B)
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Any value except -3.44 will make the equation equal to 28.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told to multiply the quotient of the fraction by 28.1 to make 28.1. So, it is obvious that the fraction has to simplified to a one. This is possible with any number as whatever the value of x, the numerator and denominator will be equal. But, in the case of -3.44, it will make 5e fraction 0/0, which is undefined and never equal to 1.

I hope this helps

An insurance agent receives 16% commission on every premium paid. how much commission is paid on a policy with a premium of $497
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  $79.63

Step-by-step explanation:

You can figure this by estimating. 16% is a little less than 20%, which is 1/5. $497.69 is almost $500. So, 1/5 of that is almost $100, and a little less than that is about $80. The closest answer choice is $79.63.

__

If you want to figure it exactly, you can do the multiplication ...

  16% of $497.69 = 0.16 × $497.69 = $79.6304 ≈ $79.63
