A) 2L + 2W = 48
B) L * W = 140
B) W = 140 / L
Inputting this to equation A)
A) 2L + 2*(140 /L) = 48
L + 140/L = 24
Multiplying both sides by "L"
L² + 140 = 24L
L² -24L +140 = 0
(L -10) * (L-14) = 0
L= 10
L = 14
If length = 10 then width =14
If length = 14 then width = 10

What is 3x^2-2n-5=0<br> please help me!!!
expeople1 [14]
The answer to your question is: 
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..

Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:

<span><u>3x² - 2x - 5 = 0</u></span>

In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5

Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that

<u>x = -1</u>
and
<u>x = ⁵/₃</u>

Pani-rosa [81]

Given :

Challenge given is to volunteer for about 1 1/2 hours per week .

Autum did at a rate of 6 3/4 hours per week .

To Find :

The comparison ( ratio )  her volunteers rate with the challenge rate .

Solution :

Simplifying challenge rate in in normal fraction , 1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2+1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2} .

Also , simplifying her rate , 6\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{(6\times 4)+3}{4}=\dfrac{27}{4} .

Now , ratio of his work by challenge is :

R=\dfrac{\dfrac{27}{4}}{\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\\\R=\dfrac{27\times 2}{4\times 3}\\\\R=\dfrac{9}{2}

Therefore , the ratio is 9/2 or 4 1/2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
