ankoles [38]
Represent the unknowns. 
<span>Let x = length </span>
<span>since the width is 3/4 of the length, </span>
<span>Let (3/4)x = width </span>

<span>Recall that the area of rectangle is just width multiplied by the length, </span>
<span>A = w * l </span>
<span>Substituting, </span>
<span>432 = (3/4)x * x </span>
<span>432 = (3/4)x^2 </span>
<span>432 * 4/3 = x^2 </span>
<span>576 = x^2 </span>
<span>Get the square root of both sides, </span>
<span>x = 24 feet (length) </span>

An instructor makes $15 more per hour than an assistant. If the combined hourly wage of the instructor and assistant is $65, wha
mezya [45]
X= assistant's wage
x+15= instructor's wage

Add their wages set equal to $65

x + (x + 15)= 65
combine like terms

2x + 15= 65
subtract 15 from both sides

2x= 50
divide both sides by 2

x= $25 assistant's wage

x+15= 25 + 15= $40 instructor's wage


ANSWER: (C) $25 hourly wage of assistant

Hope this helps! :)
