Answer:

W=5

Step-by-step explanation:

W=Width=Length + 1

L = Length

Area = Length * Width = 20

Area = L * W = L * (L+1) = 20

Distribute the L:   L^2 + L = 20

Subtract 20 from both sides: L^2 + L -20 = 20-20

Simplify:  L^2+L-20=0

Factor (L-4)(L+5)=0

Solve using the zero property: L-4=0, L=4      L+5=0, L=-5

The two options for length are 4 and -5. Only 4 will work for L since it cannot be negative.   Width is Length + 1 = 5

Answer:

1) $350

2) 55°

3) $300

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The total cost is the cost of the appointment plus the cost of the repair work.  The appointment costs $50.  The repair work costs $120 per 2 hours.  So the total cost is:

C = 50 + (120/2) t

C = 50 + 60t

For 5 hours of work, the cost is:

C = 50 + 60(5)

C = 350

It costs $350.

2) The temperature starts at 70°.  It drops 10° in 4 hours.  So the temperature after t hours is:

T = 70 + (-10/4) t

T = 70 − 2.5t

After 6 hours:

T = 70 − 2.5(6)

T = 55

The temperature is 55°.

3) Jennie's total pay is her weekly pay plus her commissions.  If her commission is x% of her sales, then her pay is:

P = 250 + (x/100) S

When her sales is $1000, her pay is $275.

275 = 250 + (x/100) 1000

275 = 250 + 10x

25 = 10x

x = 2.5

So her pay is:

P = 250 + (2.5/100) S

When S = $2000:

P = 250 + (2.5/100) 2000

P = 250 + 50

P = 300

Her total pay is $300.
