The original are would be 48.
Since we know that the length and width are two consecutive even integers, we can model them as follows:
Width = x
Length = x + 2
This works because no matter what even number is put in for x, the length will also be even.
Now we know if we subtract 3 from the width, we have a new rectangle that gives us an area of 24 inches. Therefore, our new triangle has the following:
Width: x - 3
Length: x + 2
Area: 24
And we can plug this into the equation.
Length* Width = Area
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 24
x^2 - x - 6 = 24
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
This is not a quadratic that we can factor to show the following:
(x - 6)(x + 5) = 0
This gives us the answers of x = 6 and x = -5. Since a side can't be negative, we throw out the x = -5 and the answer is x = 6.
So if we go back to the original rectangle, we know:
Width = x = 6
Length = x + 2 = 8
Area = 6*8 = 48
Answer:
Mason has
- 16 20¢ stamps;
- 25 3¢ stamps;
- 40 49¢ stamps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of 20¢ stamps, then the number of 3¢ stamps is x + 9.
Mason has 56 total 49¢ and 20¢ stamps, then the number of 49¢ stamps is 56 - x.
Amounts:
- in 49¢:
cents; - in 20¢:
cents; - in 3¢:
cents.
Total amount:
- $23.55.
Hence,
Mason has
- 16 20¢ stamps;
- 25 3¢ stamps;
- 40 49¢ stamps.
The total distance it flies, rounded to the nearest mile is: d. 1,692 miles .
<h3>Total distance</h3>
First distance= 550 miles (given)
Second distance=483 miles (given)
Now let find the third distance
Let x represent the third distance
Hence:
x/sin79 = 550/sin55
x= 659.1
Now let calculate the total distance
Total distance=550+483+659.1
Total distance= 1692.1
Total distance= 1692 miles (rounded)
Therefore the correct option is d.
