The are of a shaded region is 118 ft squared. Which equation can be- used to find the value of X, in feet?

Answer:

$x^2+ 18x -130=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for diagram

Required

The equation to find x

First, calculate the area of the big rectangle using:

$Area = Length * Width$

So:

$A_1 = (x + 6) * (3x - 2)$

The smaller rectangle

$A_2 = (x - 1) * (2x)$

The difference between this areas give the area of the shaded region.

So:

$A_1 - A_1 = 118$

$(x+6)*(3x-2) - (x-1)*2x = 118$

Open brackets

$3x^2 - 2x + 18x -12 -2x^2 +2x = 118$

Collect like terms

$3x^2 -2x^2- 2x +2x+ 18x -12 - 118=0$

$x^2+ 18x -130=0$

The above equation can be used to solve for x

What interest is needed to earn $137.50 on a deposit of $500 for five years if it earns simple interest?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Simple interest = $137.50

Principal= $500

time = 5 years

We want to find the rate R

Simple interest= PRT/100

137.50 = 500*R*5/100

137.50=2500R/100

cross multiply

137.5*100= 2500R

13750= 2500R

divide both sides by 2500

R= 13750/2500

R=5.5%

Hence the rate is 5.5%
