Area = length *width
A = x²
3x² = (x+10)(x+12)
3x² = x²+10x+12x+120
3x² = x²+22x+120
3x²-3x² = x²+22x+120-3x²
0 = -2x²+22x+120
Factor to solve for x: 
-2(x²-11x-60)
(x+4)(x-15)
x = -4  & x = 15 but we can't have a negative length so we eliminate 4. The length of the square is 15 cm.

elena-s [515]

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that 430 students were surveyed and 258 said that their favorite type of pet was a dog. The fraction/decimal of those that chose dog as their favorite pet will be:

= 258/430

= 3/5

= 0.6

Suppose that only 100 students were surveyed, the number of students that would say that a dog is their favorite types of pet will be:

= 0.6 × 100

= 60

the price of an item has increased 15% since last year. However l a person can buy the item for a 25%employee discount. The empl
Fiesta28 [93]

Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.

After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.

There is a 25% discount for employee.

25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.

Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.

The employee pays $172.50.

Therefore,

0.8625x = 172.50.

Dividing both sides by 0.08625.

\frac{0.8625x }{ 0.8625} =\frac{172.50}{0.8625}

<h3>x=200.</h3><h3>Therefore, last year the price was $200.</h3>
