The length and width of the garden will be obtain as follows:
let the length be x ft, the width will be (x+3.5)ft
area of the bed will be:
A=length*width
11.76=x(x+3.5)
11.76=x^2+3.5x
thus
x^2+3.5x-11.76=0
solving this by quadratic formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
thus plugging in the values we obtain
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt(3.5^2-4(-11.76*1))]/2
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt59.29]/2
x=[-3.5+/-7.7]/2
x=4.2 or -11.2
thus the length will be x=4.2 ft and the width will be x-3.5=0.7 ft
Answer:
-0.333, -1/7, 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 is the greatest because it is a positive number while the other two numbers are negative.
-0.333 or -1/3 is smaller than -1/7.
Answer:
Five times the sum of two times a number plus seven all minus three
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-28 = x
Step-by-step explanation
[5x + 20] + [4x - 8] = 180
9x + 12 = 180
- 12 -12
______________
9x = 168
18⅔ = x
m∠EBC = 5[18⅔] + 20 = 113⅓
93⅓
You will get a negative answer if you set them equal to each other, which is not allowed when you are talking about <em>length</em><em>.</em>
I hope this is correct, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time.
Answer:
y=1/2x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is y=mx+b.
m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
1/2 is the slope, and 5 is the y-intercept.
y=1/2x+5.
