Answer:

Option A - 342 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Janice puts a fence around her rectangular garden. The garden has a length that is 9 feet less than 3 times its width.

To find : What is the perimeter of Janice fence if the area of her garden is 5,670 square feet?

Solution :

Let the width of the garden be w=x feet.

The garden has a length that is 9 feet less than 3 times its width.

The length of the garden be l=3x-9 feet

The area of the garden is A=5670 square feet.

The formula of area of garden is A=l\times w

5670=(3x-9)\times x

5670=3x^2-9x

3x^2-9x-5670=0

x^2-3x-1890=0

x^2-45x+42x-1890=0

x(x-45)+42(x-45)=0

(x-45)(x+42)=0

x=45,-42

Reject x=-42 as measurement cannot be negative.

The width of the garden is w=45 feet.

The length of the garden is l=3(45)-9=135-9=126 feet.

The perimeter of the garden is P=2(l+w)

P=2(126+45)

P=2(171)

P=342

The perimeter of Janice fence is 342 feet.

Therefore, Option A is correct.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 0.939\ or\ 93.9\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Survey shows that 16% of college students have dogs and 38% have HBO subscription

Probability that a random person have both is

\Rightarrow P_o=0.16\times 0.38\quad [\text{As both events are independent}]\\\Rightarrow P_o=0.0608

The probability that the random person has neither of the two is

\Rightarrow P=1-P_o\\\Rightarrow P=1-0.0608\\\Rightarrow P=0.939

What is x in 3.6x=1.6x+24
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

3.6x=1.6x+24

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3.6x=1.6x+24

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+3.6x-1.6x=+24

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+2x=+24

We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.

x=12
