Answer: The length of rectangle is 15 cm and width is 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As according to question

Let the width of rectangle = x cm

Length of rectangle =(x- 5) cm

Area of rectangle is 300 cm²

As we know Area of rectangle is given by

Area = length \times breadth \\\\\Rightarrow 300 = (x-5)x\\\\\Rightarrow 300 = x^2-5x\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-5x-300 = 0 \\\\\Rightarrow x^2-20x+15x-300 = 0 \\\\\Rightarrow x(x-20) +15(x-20) =0\\\\\Rightarrow (x-20)(x+15)=0

Therefore either (x-20)= 0 or (x+15)=0

i.e. either x= 20 or x = -15

Now width can not be negative

Therefore it cant be -15

Hence the width is 20 cm

Length = x- 5 = 20-5 = 15 cm

Hence the length of rectangle is 15 cm and width is 20 cm

Find the value of a square + b square when a+b = 8 and ab = 10
Ne4ueva [31]

As we know,

\boxed{ \boxed{(a + b) {}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  + 2ab}}

now, let's plug the given values to find a² + b²

  • (8) {}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  + (2 \times 10)

  • 64 =   {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  + 20

  • {a}^{2} +   {b}^{2}  = 64 - 20

  • a {}^{2} +  b {}^{2}  = 44

How many solutions does 3 - 2x = 5 - x + 3 + 4x have?
vitfil [10]

Well let's see.

3-2x=5-x+3+4x \\3-2x=8+3x \\-5x=5 \\x=-1 \\

The equation has exactly one solution.

Hope this helps.

For a certain commodity the supply equation is given by S = 2p + 5 At a price of $1, there is a demand for 19 units of the commo
slava [35]

Answer:

The demand equation is: D=-4p+23

Step-by-step explanation:

To get started, we should keep in mind that the market price (p=3) occurs when supply equals demand ,therefore when p=3

S=2(3)+5=11

Thus, when p=3 D=11 and, according to the problem  when p=1 D=19.

We already know two points on the demand curve. Great!

The demand equation is linear, so it has form D=bp+c.

The variable b is the slope of  the demand linear equation . It can be computed through the formula

b=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}.  equation 1

Substituting the two points (3,11) and (1,19) on equation 1.

b=\frac{19-11}{1-3} =\frac{8}{-2}

b=-4

Now we can find the value of  intercept of the demand equation c trough point-slope form y-y1=b(x-x1).

We can use any of the points. Let's take (3,11) and write in point-slope :

y-11=-4(x-3)

y=-4x+11+12

y=-4x+23

Rewrite the linear equation according our variables D and p

D=-4P+23

Finally we found the demand equation !
