Answer:

L=21.6in and w=13.6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is 8 inches longer than its width, we can write the width as "w" and the length as the width w+ 8

Area is (width)(Length) = (width)(width+8)

W

----------

| |

| |

| | L = w+8

| |

| |

-----------

A = (w+8)(w)

A = w2 + 8w = 295.

(Problem states that area is 295 sq in)

Need to solve this quadratic equation

w2 +8y - 295 = 0

Factor:

(w - 13.64) (w + 21.64) = 0

So

w - 13.64 = 0. or. w + 21.64= 0

Solve these and get

w = 13.64. or. w = -21.64

Only one that makes sense in real life is the poitive one.

So the dimensions are

Width = 13.64 inches

Length = 21.64 inches

Jeri's lawn service charges an initial fee of $4.50 plus $3 an hour. If she is asked to
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

5 hours 22 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of hours that Jeri worked as: h

Jeri's lawn service charges an initial fee of $4.50 plus $3 an hour

= $4.50 + $3 × h

= $4.50 + 3h

If she is asked to start before 7 a.m. Jeri charges 1.5 times the regular amount.

= 1.5 × ($4.50 + 3h)

If she made $29.25 on a job that began at 5 am, how many hours did Jeri work?

Hence, we have the final equation;

= 1.5 × ($4.50 + 3h) = $29.25

= 6.75 + 4.5h = 29.25

Collect like terms

= 4.5h = 29.25 - 6.75

4.5h = 22.5

h = 22.5/4.5

h = 5.3571428571

Approximately= 5.36 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

0.36 hour =

60 × 0.36

= 21.6 minutes

Approximately ≈ 22 minutes

Therefore, Jeri worked for 5 hours 22 minutes
