The area of a rectangle is equal  L x  W   

4 cm longer than it is wide   L = 4 + <span>W
</span>
L x  W = 117     we replace L here 

(4 + <span>W ) x W = 117 
</span>
4W + W ^2  = 117 

<span>4W + W ^2  -117 = 0
</span>W ^2 +4 W -117 = 0

W² + 4W - 117 = 0

<span>
THEN u want to use the </span>use the quadratic formula
 

OR Factoring gives us

(W + 13)(W - 9) = 0

W = -13 or 9

But it can't be negative, so

W = 9  and L= 9+4 = 13

Building a is 271 meters taller than building
kvv77 [185]

Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).

... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b

... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211

Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.

... 2b - (b+271) = 211

... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271

... a = b +271 = 753

Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.

A bag of potatoes weights 30 lb. If 74% of a potato is water, how many pounds of water are there in the bag?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the total weight of the bag by the water percentage in decimal form (divided by 100).

Mathematically speaking:

30 x (74/100) = 30 x 0.74 =22.2 pounds

There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
