Answer:

The length of the garden=14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the garden</em>

length of the garden=x feet

width of the garden=(x-4) feet

<em>Step 2: Determine the area of the garden</em>

Area of the garden=length×width

where;

area=140

length=x

width=x-4

replacing'

x(x-4)=140

x²-4x-140=0, solve the quadratic equation;

x={-b±√(b²-4ac)}/2a

x={4±√4²-4×1×-140}/2×1

x={4±√(16+560)}/2

x={4±√576}/2

x=(4±24)/2

x=(4+24)/2=14, or (4-24)/2=-10, take x=14

The length=14 feet, width=(14-4)=10 feet

The length of the garden=14 feet

eimsori [14]

Answer:

0.4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a bedroom= 20 feet

Breadth of a bedroom= 15 feet

Height of a bedroom= 8 feet

Area of walls of a bedroom= 2(l+b)×h

Area of walls of a bedroom=2(20+15)×8 ft^{2}

Area of walls of a bedroom= 2× 35×8  ft^{2}

Area of walls of a bedroom=560  ft^{2}

Amount of paint in 1 gallon = 400 ft^{2}

Number of gallons required= \frac{560}{400}

Number of gallons required= 1.4 gallons

Hence, 0.4 extra gallons required

–8(–7r – 7) + 8 =-272​
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

-8(-7r-7)+8=-272

We move all terms to the left:

-8(-7r-7)+8-(-272)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-8(-7r-7)+280=0

We multiply parentheses

56r+56+280=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

56r+336=0

We move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right

56r=-336

r=-336/56

r=-6
