A rectangle has a length that is 5 inches greater than its width, and its area is 104 square inches. The equation (x + 5)x = 104

represents the situation, where x represents the width of the rectangle. (x + 5)x = 104 x2 + 5x – 104 = 0 Determine the solutions of the equation. What solution makes sense for the situation? x = What are the dimensions of the rectangle? width = inches length = inches

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 5x – 104 = 0

Factor using the AC method. Here, a = 1 and c = -104. Multiplied together, ac = -104. Factors of -104 that add up to +5 are +13 and -8.

(x + 13) (x - 8) = 0

x = -13, 8

A negative width doesn't make sense, so x = 8. Therefore, the width is 8 inches and the length is 5 more than that, or 13 inches.

Answer:

width = 8

length = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

All that is left to do is factor the results that you have

x^2 + 5x - 104 = 0

You need two numbers that are fairly close together (ignore the sign differ by 5) and multiply to 104.

The two numbers are 8 and 13

More formally stated, the quadratic can be factored to

(x + 13)(x - 8) = 0

x - 8 =0

x - 8 + 8 = 8 + 0

x = 8

x + 13 = 0 has no meaning.

That means that the width ( a positive number ) = 8

The length is 5 more = 13

paco has 75 minutes before he needs to get ready for baseball practic.he cleans his room for 40 minutes and reads and reads for

fomenos

By the way this problem is worded, he spends 75 minutes reading and cleaning, but there seems to be not enough information because the way it is worded, it means he has 75 minutes until he needs to GET READY, not play in the actual game. (40 + 35 = 75).

Answer:

the center is (-4,7) and the radius is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of a circle can be found using the equation $(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2$ and is (h,k) from it. Notice h and k are the opposite value as in the equation.

First write the equation in this form.

$x^2 + 8x + ( ?)+ y^2 - 14y + (?) + 56 = 0$

Complete the square with each variable to find what numbers should go in place of the question marks.

$(8/2)^2 = 4^2 = 16$

$(-14/2)^2 = -7^2 = 49$

Add 16 and 49 to both sides of the equation.

$x^2 + 8x + 16 + y^2 - 14y + 49 + 56 = 16 + 49\\(x+4)^2 + (y-7)^2 + 56 = 65\\(x+4)^2 + (y-7)^2 = 9$

So the center is (-4,7) and the radius is 3.

Can y’all please answer this question

Answer:

The customer will pay $19

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of Ham per pound = $5.99

Price of Turkey per pound = $4.99

Price of Roast beef per pound = $6.99

Price of Salami per pound = $2.99

Price of Bologna per pound = $3.99

Customer purchased:

Ham = $\frac{1}{4}$ pound

Turkey = $1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$ pound

Roast beef = 1 pound

Bologna = $\frac{3}{4}$ pound

We will multiply the pound purchased with per pound price and add them to find the total cost.

The customer will pay :

$\frac{1}{4}\times5.99+\frac{3}{2} \times4.99+1\times6.99+\frac{3}{4}\times3.99$

$=1.4975+7.485+6.99+2.9925\\=18.965\\\approx19$

So, the customer will pay $19

Option B is correct.
