Answer:

The width is 7 meters and the length is 13 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a  rectangle sandpit is 40 meters.

Let the width be w units, then the length which is 1 meter less than twice it’s width becomes: l=2w-1

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

P=2(w+l)

We substitute P=40 and the length in term of w to get:

40=2(w+2w-1)

We simplify to get:

40=2(3w-1)

Divide through by 2 to get:

20=3w-1\\\implies 21=3w\\\implies w=\frac{21}{3}=7

Hence l=2(7)-1=14-1=13

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

x = 0

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 5x = -2x\\x^2 - 5x + 2x = 0\\x^2 - 3x = 0\\x(x - 3) = 0\\x=0 , x-3=0\\x=0, x=3

2. A group of activists wants to raise money for a good cause, so they decide to sponsor a bicycle race. It receives $60 per cyc
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The number of cyclists the group needs to raise at least $57,000 must be at least 1000 cyclists
  • Let x represent the number of cyclists.
  • Since, the activists receive $60 per cyclist entry and $15,000 in donations, hence:
  • Revenue = 60x + 15000
  • Also, the cost of the race is $18 per entry, hence:
  • Cost = 18x
  • They need to raise at least $57,000, hence:
  • Profit ≥ 57000
  • Revenue - Cost ≥ 57000
  • (60x + 15000) - 18x ≥ 57000
  • 42x ≥ 42000
  • x ≥ 1000
  • Therefore the number of cyclists the group needs to raise at least $57,000 must be at least 1000 cyclists
