Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 = -98

x =+-√-98

x = +-√49 • 2 • -1

x = +-7√2 • -1

x = +-7i√2

(Note: i = √-1 and i^2 = -1, so you can interchange the values)

The area of a rectangle is 27ft squared, and the length of the rectangle is 3ft less than twice the width. Find the dimensions o

Answer:

width =4.5ft

length=6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

w = x

L = 2x-3

area = L*w

27 = x(2x-3)

$27=2x^{2} -3x$

$2x^{2} -3x-27=0$

$2x^{2} +6x-9x-27=0$

2x(x+3)-9(x+3)=0

(2x-9)(x+3)=0

2x-9=0

2x=9

x=9/2

x=4.5

L=2x-3=2*4.5-3 =9-3=6

Over the last 3 years, salesperson A has earned twice as much as salesper B who in turn has averaged 50% more than salesper C. T

<span>A has earned twice as much as B so: A=2B
B has averaged 50% more than C so: B=C+0.5C
Combined is 220K, So A+B+C=220,000

The last equation can be re-written as:
2B+1.5C+C=220K
AND since A=2B, it can be rewritten again as:
3C+1.5C+C=220K

Now you can get C finally, since B=1.5C you can get B, then to get the average, just divide that by 3 (years) and you should be done.
So B = 60000 for 3 years</span>
