J is n+c
j is 2f

j=n+c
j=2f

f=15
j=2(15)
j=30
30=n+c
30-n=c

carmen is 30-c years old

You plant a rectangular rose garden along the side of your garage. You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing. Th

solmaris [256]

Let's assume

length of rectangle =L

width of rectangle =W

You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing

so, we get

$L+2W=40$

now, we can solve for L

$L=40-2W$

we know that

area of rectangle is

$A=L*W$

$100=L*W$

now, we can plug

$100=(40-2W)*W$

now, we can solve for W

$-2W^2+40W-100=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$W=\frac{-40+\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}$

$W=\frac{-40-\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}$

we can take anyone value ..because both are giving positive value

first dimensions:

$W=2.929$

now, we can find L

$L=40-2*2.929$

$L=34.142$

so, length is 34.142feet

width is 2.929 feet

Second dimensions:

$W=17.071$

now, we can find L

$L=40-2*17.071$

$L=5.858$

so, length is 5.858feet

width is 17.071 feet

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

$59$ pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable:

x = number of pages he has to read on a weekday

x + 30 = The number of pages read on Saturday and Sunday

$5x+2(x+30) = 473$

$==> 5x + 2x + 60 = 473$

$==> 7x =413$

$==> x = 59$

Meaning that Raoul has to read 59 pages on Wednesday
