The length of a rectangle is 4 more than the width. Find the width of the rectangle if the area is 32.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

length = 8

width = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length x breadth

Let x represent the width

length = x + 4

32 = x × (x + 4)

32 = x² + 4x

x² + 4x - 32 = 0

solving using quadratic equation =

(x² - 4x) -32 + 8x

x = 4 or -8

since width cannot be a negative number, we would use 4

You and your mom enter a drawing with 3 different prizes. A total of 9 people entered the drawing, and prizes are awarded random

julsineya [31]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{72}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are total 9 people who entered the drawing competition. There are 3 prizes to be distributed to the winners. The total number of ways that 3 prizes can be awarded to the 9 people can be determined as 9*8*7 = 504.

The total number of ways in which I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 1*1*7 = 7.

Therefore, the probability that I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be: $\frac{7}{504}=\frac{1}{72}$
