Finish your statement... I'm anxious to help!
Answer: if the width was not effected then the width is still 24 inches
if the area stayed the same, then
find area
area=legnth times width
288=12 times 24
so the new height./legnth =2
288=2 times width
divide by 2
144=width'
the new width =144
(16 - Sqrt(11))/(-2)
= -8 +Sqrt(11)/2
Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.
<span>If they join to work together they can complete the job in 3 hours. </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x - 8) = 1/3 </span>
<span>3(x - 8) + 3x = x(x - 8) </span>
<span>x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0 </span>
<span>(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0 </span>
<span>Solutions: </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span>x = 12 </span>
<span>Jimmy can complete the job on his own in 12 hours.</span>
