<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

Width = 7

Length = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width value:

Because the length is 8cm bigger than the width(x), this can be shown by:

Length = x + 8

If you recall the equation for the area of a rectangle:

Area = length x width

Simply plug the known values in:

105 = (x + 8) * x

(x * x) + (8 * x) = 105

x² + 8x = 105

Move the +105 to the other side making it a -105, meaning that this is now a quadratic:

x² + 8x - 105 = 0

Factorise this:

(x + 15) ( x - 7)

So x = -15 or x = 7

X has to be 7 because you cannot have a negative measurement.

This means that:

The width = 7

And the length = 7 + 8 = 15

Mr. Rifkin had 240 digital and manual cameras. After donating 82 digital cameras and 26 manual cameras, he had three times as ma
puteri [66]
After the donation,
3m + m = 132
manual = 33
digital = 99

Before the donation, he had 82 more digital and 26 more manual cameras.
82 + 99 = 181 digital
26 + 33 = 59 manual
For a double check, before donation,
digital + manual = 240
181 + 59 = 240
So, to begin with, the number of digital cameras = 181.

Answer:

The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,

(Monday) 90 = 15m + b

(Tuesday) 62 = 8m + b

where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30.

The equation that represents Mary's earning is

y = 4x + 30

For 20 students,

y = 4(20) + 30 = 110

For Lisa's earnings,

y = 8x + 15

Substituting 20,

y =8(20) + 15 = 175

Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.

(Btw this is not my work, I got it from someone else on brainly and wanted to help lol)

5x+21+178/(x-7)<br> How do I solve for domain and range on this equation?
Luda [366]
The domain is easiest. You simply need to find the fractions, and exclude any X that makes the denominator zero. So in this case, your domain is everything except X=7.

For range, you are trying to find out what are the possible answers. Usually the best way to do this is to try x=infinity, and x=negative infinity, which here gives you answers of infinity and negative infinity. Since the function is almost continuous, I think your range is any real number.
