Answer
Find out the original side length of the square .
To prove
Let us assume that the original length of the square be x.
Formula
As given
The dimensions of a square are altered so that 8 inches is added to one side while 3 inches is subtracted from the other.
Length becomes = x + 8
Breadth becomes = x -3
The area of the resulting rectangle is 126 in²
Put in the formula
(x + 8) × (x - 3) = 126
x² -3x + 8x -24 = 126
x ²+ 5x = 126 +24
x² + 5x - 150 = 0
x² + 15x - 10x - 150 = 0
x (x + 15) -10 (x +15) =0
(x + 15)(x -10) =0
Thus
x = -15 , 10
As x = -15 (Neglected this value because the side of the square cannot be negative.)
Therefore x = 10 inches be the original side of the square.
Answer:
[-8, 6]
Step-by-step explanation:
Domain is the x values. Look at the smallet x value, in this case -8, and the largest, in this case 6, and write them like a point using [] not (). You use [ or ] for numbers and ( or ) for infinity signs.
mike charges 100 dollars service charge plus 65 dollars per hour.
amy charges 40 dollars service charge plus 80 dollars per hour.
the cost to repair from mike is 100 + 65 * x.
the cost to repair from amy is 40 + 80 * x.
let x = 3 and you get:
the cost to repair from mike is 100 + 65 * 3 = 295 dollars.
the cost to repaid from amy is 40 + 80 * 3 = 280 dollars.
as long as the time to repair is 3 hours or less, the cost to repair will be cheaper from amy.
Answer:
Each friend will get 18 sea shells.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rudy has white sea shells = 10
Rudy has pink sea shells = 23
Rudy has brown sea shells = 21
Number of friends = 3
Rudy divides the sea shells into equally between three friends.
We need to find how many sea shells each friend can get.
Now first we find the total number sea shells.
Total number of sea shells = white sea shells + pink sea shells + brown sea shells = 10 + 23 + 21 = 54
Now to find number of sea shell each friend can get we will divide total number of sea shell with number of friends.
number of sea shell each friend can get = 
Hence each friend will get 18 sea shells.
