Alright in this one, you are going to need to factor. 
The width is x
The length is 2x-4
To find the area of a rectangle is L*W
so (2x-4)(x) when distributed is 2x^2 -4x

Then put that in the equation and you have:
2x^2 -4x = 96
2x^2 -4x -96 = 0  

2x^2+12x-16x-96=0
3x(x+4)-4(x+4)=0
(3x-4)=0
(x+4)=0
x=-4
<u>x=3/4</u>
Since length isn't negative
we will use <u>3/4 as x.
</u>
Width= 0.75 ft
Length= 1.5

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: c) 300 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of copies that you must sell to break even.

You decide to market your own custom computer software. You must invest 3,255 for computer hardware,and spend 2.90 to buy and package each disk. This means that the total cost of producing each software would be

3255 + 2.9x

If each program sells for $13.75, it means that the total revenue from selling each software would be

13.75x

In order to break even, total cost would be equal to total revenue. Therefore,

3255 + 2.9x = 13.75x

13.75x - 2.9x = 3255

10.85x = 3255

x = 3255/10.85

x = 300 copies

A survey of 1250 trees in a small wood showed that 32 percent were oak trees 26 percent were birch trees and the remainder were
timofeeve [1]

Answer: There were 525 pine trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total trees = 1250

Percentage of oak trees = 32%

Percentage of birch trees = 26%

Since remaining trees are pine trees.

Percentage of pine trees = 100% - 32% - 26%

=42%

The number of pine trees = 42% of 1250

= 0.42 ×1250

= 525

Hence, there were 525 pine trees.
