Answer: The equation is W^2 + 4W - 96= 0
{Please note that ^2 means raised to the power of 2}
Step-by-step explanation: We have been given hints as to the measurement of the length and width of the rectangle. The length is given as four more than the width. What that means is that whatever is the width, we simply add four to get the measurement of the length. Therefore if the width is W, then the length is W + 4.
That is,
L = W + 4 and
W = W
Also we have the area given as 96.
Remember that the area of a rectangle is given as
Area = L x W.
In this question, the Area is expressed as
Area = (W + 4) x W
96 = W^2 + 4W
Subtract 96 from both sides of the equation and we have
W^2 + 4W - 96 = 0.
We now have a quadratic equation from which we can determine the dimensions of the rectangle
Answer:
(1) 12 boxes (2) 1173 points
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Jamie needs to fit all if his toys in the boxes, so you would need to do 103 times 9, making it 11.4. So, you'd need twelve boxes to fit all of he toys into boxes.
(2) The contestant earned 69 points, and each of those points are worth 17 points, meaning you have to do 17 times 69, which is 1173
