Let the length equal x
Then the width would be 4x + 8 (8 feet more than 4 times the length)
Area = length x width:
5,472 = x * 4x+ 8
Simplify:
5472 = 4x^2 + 8x
Subtract 5472 from both sides:
4 x^2 + 8x - 5472 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for x.
X = 36
Now you know the length is 36 feet
The width = 4(36) + 8 = 152 feet
Now find the perimeter: 152 + 152 + 36 + 36 = 376 feet.
The answer is B. 376
Step-by-step explanation:
a−(6a−(5a−8))
a-(6a-5a+8)
a-6a+5a-8
6a-6a-8
0-8
=-8
so the answer doesn't depend on a
Answer:
C)infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8 nickels and 9 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
If all were dimes, the value would be $1.70. It is $0.40 less than that. Changing a dime for a nickel reduces the value by $0.05, so there must have been $0.40/$0.05 = 8 such changes.
There are 8 nickels and 9 dimes.
_____
<em>Check</em>
8 · 0.05 + 9 · 0.10 = 0.40 + 0.90 = 1.30 . . . the answer checks OK
