Answer:

  Dimensions of original room = 12 x 12 feet.

Explanation:

 Let the size of old square room be a x a.

 New dimension = ( a+4 ) x ( a + 6 )

   We have area of the new room will be 144 square feet greater than the area of the original room.

  So,     ( a+4 ) x ( a + 6 ) = a x a + 144

              a²+10a+24= a²+144

              10a = 120

                  a = 12 feet.

 Dimensions of original room = 12 x 12 feet.

Find the answer The weight of an elephant is 10 to the 3rd power times the weight of a cat .If the the elephant weighs 14,000 po
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

14\ pounds

Below is the procedure that was used to find the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "e" the weight in pounds of the elephant and "c" the weight in pounds of the cat.

According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that The weight of an elephant is 10^3 times the weight of a cat. Based on this we can write the following equation:

e=10^3c

If the weight in pounds of the elephant is:

e=14,000

We must substitute this value into the equation and then solve for "c" in order to find the weight in pounds of the cat.

Then we get:

14,000=10^3c\\\\\frac{14,000}{10^3}=c\\\\c=14

Chester Boles reviewed his credit card's monthly statement. It shows a $2,376.10 previous balance and this month's new purchases
ss7ja [257]

Initial balance, I = $2376.10 .

Total amount of purchase made, A = $( 875.22+65.75+45.22+21.23 ) = $1007.42 .

Total amount credit, c = $875.22 .

Fine, f = $45.30 .

Another purchase, a=\dfrac{2376.10\times 2.5}{100}=\$ 59.4025 .

So, balance left is :

B = I - A - f - a + c

B = 2376.10 - 1007.42 - 45.30 - 59.4025 + 875.22

B = $2139.1975

Hence, this is the required solution.
