Answer: the length is 11 cm.

The width is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.

The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that

LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1

The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that

L = W + 4

Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

(W + 4)W = 77

W² + 4W = 77

W² + 4W - 77 = 0

W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0

W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0

W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0

W = 7 or W = - 11

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm

L = 77/7 = 11 cm

Can someone please solve this please?!
sasho [114]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved b using a combination. We're using a combination for this because the order in which you would pick the songs doesn't matter. To solve, we would plug in the number of songs we want to download, in this case 8, into the n value of the combination. Then we would plug in the number of songs that we can pick, in this case 3, in the r value of the combination. Solve the combination and we get 56.
