Answer:
Here's what we know:
A = Lw (Area is length times width)
L = 2w + 6 (length is twice the width plus 6)
A = 140 (Area is 140 m2)
Plug in the variable values:
140 = w(2w + 6)
Distribute:
140 = 2w2 + 6w
Subtract 140:
2w2 + 6w - 140 = 0
Factor out a 2:
2(w2 + 3w - 70) = 0
Divide both sides by 2:
w2 + 3w - 70 = 0
(w + m)(w - n)
When we factor out the quadratic, we know it's going to be a +/- situation because the c value in the quadratic is negative, and the two numbers are going to be three away, the plus next to the 3 meaning that the larger number is going to be positive:
(w + 10)(w - 7) = 0
w = -10, 7
We can't have a negative length, so we can toss out the -10, leaving us with w = 7 meters.
L = 2 * 7 + 6
L = 14 + 6
L = 20
Check:
140 = 20 * 7
140 = 140
Answer:4
Step-by-step explanation:
H= 2*26/5+8
There are 8 tenths in the sum. .65+.24 is .89. tenths are the first digit to the right of the decimal. 80 and 8x10=80
You need to find "dollars per hour". So you need to know the total dollars and the total hours.
You already know the total dollars ... it's 54.
What are the total hours ? 2-1/2 plus 4-1/4 . Can you add those ?
Once you add up the total hours, divide ($54) divided by (total hours).
The quotient is the number of dollars she earns for each hour she works.
