Length (L): w + 3            ⇒2(w + 3)

width (w): w                    ⇒ w - 1

Area (A) = L x w

         A = (w + 3)(w)

         A = w² + 3w

*******************************************

       A + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)

(w² + 3w) + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)

w² + 3w + 176 = 2w² + 4w - 6

        3w + 176 = w² + 4w - 6

                 176 = w² + w - 6          

                   0 = w² + w - 182

                   0 = (w - 13) (w + 14)

0 = w - 13            0 = w + 14

w = 13                  w = -14

Since width cannot be negative, disregard -14

w = 13

Length (L): w + 3   = (13) + 3   = 16

Answer: width = 13 in, length = 16 in

taurus [48]

Answer:

$ 0.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if to assume, 'c' - price of the coffee and 'd' - price of the doughnuts, then

2) it is possible to write the equation 1 (when five MinB enter): 3d+5c=3.3;

3) it is possible to write the equation 2 (when three aliens entered): 4d+3c=2.75;

4) \ \left \{ {{3d+5c=3.3} \atop {4d+3c=2.75}} \right. \ = > \ \left \{ {{c=0.45} \atop {d=0.35}} \right.

5) if c=0.45 and d=0.35, then Ag.Z. paid 0.35+0.45=$ 0.8.

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.<br> x^2+12x+52=0
White raven [17]

Answer:

(x + 6)² + 16 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square we will first need to get our equation to look like: x² + bx = c

Here we have x² + bx + c = 0 → x² + 12x + 52 = 0

  • First we need to subtract our c, in this case 52, from both sides to get x² + 12x = -52
  • We then need to add (\frac{b}{2} )^{2} to both sides of the equation
  • Here our b value is 12, so plugging this into our formula we get (\frac{12}{2} )^{2} =(6)^{2} =36
  • Adding 36 to both sides our equation becomes: x² + 12x + 36 = -52 + 36
  • Then combining like terms on the right side we get x² + 12x + 36 = -16
  • Now making our left side of the equation into a perfect square we get: (x + 6)² = -16
  • Finally adding the 16 to both sides of the equation we get: (x + 6)² + 16 = 0

The information above describes the real GDP per capita for a country for the period from 1985 through to 2001. If a new business cycle began in 1985, how long was this cycle? In which year did the peak occur? The trough occurred in which year? How long was the expansion? How long was the recession?

Step-by-step explanation:

a.If a new business cycle began in 1985, how long was this cycle?

The business cycle describes the rise and fall in production output of goods and services in an economy. In the data given above, a business cycle is complete in the year 1998. If the cycle started in 1985 then it was 14 years long.

b. In which year did the peak occur? The trough occurred in which year?

In the data given above, the peak occured in year 1993 (GDP per capita of 8,575) and trough occurred in the year 1998 (GDP per capita of 7,925).

c. How long was the expansion? How long was the recession?

Expansion was 9 years long (1985-1993) and recession was of 5 years (1994-1998).
