Answer:

w=10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a rectangle with an area of ​​140 square feet whose length (l) is 4 feet more than its width (w) and  knowing that rectangle area is base (b) by height (h) then:

A=b*h\\140ft^{2}= l*w \\

but, l=w+4ft;

140= (w+4)*w=w^{2}+4w\\w^{2}+4w-140=0

applying cuadratic equation

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}; where a=1, b=4 and c=-140

w1=10 and w=-14, we take w1 for being area values

finally:

width = 10 ft

Answer: width = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length × width

Let l be length and w be width

l = w + 4 ........equation (1)

From above formula

140 = l × w. ........equation (2)

Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)

140 = (w+4) × w

w^2 + 4w= 140

w^2 + 4w - 140= 0

By factorization method

(w+14)(w-10)= 0

w=-14 or w= 10

So now width is 10 ft

From equation(1)

l=w+4

l= 10+4

l= 14 ft

Width = 10 ft and length = 14 ft

Craig had a budget of 84 dollars to spend on books and movies. He bought six books at x dollars each and three movies at 12 doll
RideAnS [48]

Answer: (3)12 + 6x = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We know he definitely bought 3 books for $12 each so we immediately put that in the equation. Then we add that to the unknown (6 books times however much he bought them for) and then we equal it to 84 (his budget). Now we do 3 x 12 which is 36. Our new equation is 36 + 6x = 84. 84 - 36 = 48 so we know 6x = 48. Now divide 48 by 6 to get rid of the 6 and we learn that the variable equals 8. So, x = 8. We now know that he bought 6 books at 8 dollars each.

The instructions for building a kite tell you to begin by cutting a strip of wood to 45 cm in length, but your ruler only measur
Phantasy [73]
If one inch = 2.54 centimeters, then 45 centimeters divided by 2.54 centimeters will give you the amount of inches the piece of wood needs to be.

45/2.54 = 17.72  ---- Rounded to the nearest quarter, would be 17.75 inches.
