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

<span>A PRESENT FOR YOU </span>
<span>Ask someone to write a number, say a five-digit number. </span>
<span>(Can be a 2-digit.....3-digit.....4-digit....ect..... </span>
<span>Suppose the number written is </span>
<span>57836 </span>
<span>Now, without showing the asker, you write a number on </span>
<span>a sheet of paper and keep it folded. You have to write the </span>
<span>number by subtracting 2 from the above number and </span>
<span>adding 2 in front which will be.... </span>
<span>257834 </span>
<span>Next, ask the person to write another five-digit number </span>
<span>below his original number. Suppose he writes 37589. </span>
<span>So you now have... </span>
<span>57836 </span>
<span>37589 </span>
<span>Now you write a five-digit number below it in such a </span>
<span>way that each digit is 9 minus digit above. You now have... </span>
<span>57836 </span>
<span>37589 </span>
<span>62410 </span>
<span>Ask the person to add one more 5-digit number. If he </span>
<span>adds 54732, you add below it 45267. Note that you decided </span>
<span>the number by subtracting each of his digit from 9. </span>
<span>Thus, you now have..... </span>
<span>57836 </span>
<span>37589 </span>
<span>62410 </span>
<span>54732 </span>
<span>45267 </span>
<span>Next, ask him to add all the number and he gets 257834 </span>
<span>Show him the number which you had written as an answer </span>
<span>to this addition earlier in the folded paper and surprise him.</span>

Noah is running a portion of a marathon at a constant speed of 6 mph. Complete the table to predict how long it would take him t
ycow [4]

Answer:

\begin{array}{cc}\text{Time}&\text{Distance}\\ \\1&6\\ \\\dfrac{1}{2}&3\\ \\1\dfrac{1}{3}&8\\ \\1\dfrac{1}{2}&9\\ \\9&54\\ \\4\dfrac{1}{2}&27\end{array}

Step-by-step explanation:

Noah's running speed = 6 mph.

Use formula D=v\cdot t, where

D is the distance,

v is the speed,

t is the time.

If t=1 hour, then D=6\cdot 1=6 miles.

If t=\dfrac{1}{2} hour, then D=6\cdot \dfrac{1}{2}=3 miles.

If t=1\dfrac{1}{3} hours, then D=6\cdot 1\dfrac{1}{3}=6\cdot \dfrac{4}{3}=8 miles.

If t=1\dfrac{1}{2} hours, then D=6\cdot 1\dfrac{1}{2}=6\cdot \dfrac{3}{2}=9 miles.

If t=9 hours, then D=6\cdot 9=54 miles.

If t=4\dfrac{1}{2} hours, then D=6\cdot 4\dfrac{1}{2}=6\cdot \dfrac{9}{2}=27 miles.

So, the table is

\begin{array}{cc}\text{Time}&\text{Distance}\\ \\1&6\\ \\\dfrac{1}{2}&3\\ \\1\dfrac{1}{3}&8\\ \\1\dfrac{1}{2}&9\\ \\9&54\\ \\4\dfrac{1}{2}&27\end{array}
