Let s original sides, l length, w width:

s+8=l

s-3=w

lw= 126in²

substitute:

(s+8)(s-3)=126

s²+5s-24=126

s²+5x-150=0

(s-10)(s+15)

s=10

each side is 10 inches

7.35m3 4.2 m long 50 cm deep width
rosijanka [135]
Volume=lwh

7.35/2.1=3.5

So the missing value, or width, is 3.5 meters

Stella [2.4K]

$812 billion will be spent at the restaurants if the trend continues.

Explanation

It is given that the amount spent on restaurants increase by 6% every year.

The amount spent on each of the following years can be determined by solving it using the method used to calculate compound interest.

Amount spent in 2004=$510 billion

Annual rate of interest=6%

we have to calculate the amount spent in 2012

number of years n=8

Amount spent= initial amount*(1+r/100)^{n} \\510(1+6/100)^8\\510*(1+0.06)^8\\510*1.06^8\\=$812 billion
