Let L be the length and W be the width. The equations that represents the given conditions are,
 (1)                      L = W + 3
 (2)                    A  = (L - 1) x (W - 1) = 150
                         A = (W + 3 - 1) x (W - 1) = 150
The value of W is 11.8389 in. The width is therefore, 11.8389 in and the length is 14.8389 in.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

9 7/40

Step-by-step explanation:

3 4/5 + 5 3/8

First we need to get a common denominator of 40

3 4/5 * 8/8 = 3 32/40

5 3/8 *5/5 = 5 15/40

Add the fractions together

3 32/40+ 5 15/40

8  47/40

Rewriting

8 + 40/40 + 7/40

8 + 1+ 7/40

9 7/40

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 5 years, its mass decreases by half.
Verdich [7]

Answer: 24 grams of element would remain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function for decay:

f(x)=Ab^{\frac{x}{n}} ....(i) , where A = initial value , b = decay factor, x = time , n= time per period

As per given,

A = 569 grams , b=\dfrac12

n= 5 years, t = 23 years

Put all values in (i) , we get

f(23)=590(\dfrac12)^{\frac{23}{5}}\\\\\\=590\times 0.0412346222117\\\\=24.3284271049\approx 24

Hence, after 23 years , 24 grams of element would remain.
