You'll need to convert both speeds into yards per minute.
12 mph = 12 mph 1760 yd 60 min
---------- * ------------ * ----------
1 mile 1 hr
Note that "miles" cancels. So does "hours." Finish this work.
Then convert 4.4 ft/sec into yards per minute.
Then, finally, compare your two rates via subtraction of the smaller from the larger.
Answer:
l = 24ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A = lw
360 = (x + 9)(x)
360 = x^2 + 9x
0 = x^2 + 9x - 360
0 = (x + 24)(x - 15)
x ≠ -24 (length cannot be negative)
x = 15
l = 15 + 9
l = 24ft
2x + 4 = 3x - 10
-2x and +10 to both sides
14 = x
the answer is x = 14
