Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is one of those questions that can throw you. The problem is that do you include the original rectangle or not. The way it is written it sounds like you shouldn't

However if you don't the question gives you 2 complex answers. (answers with the sqrt( - 1) in them.

Solution

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Area of the rectangle: L * w = x * (x + 5)

Area of the smaller squares (there are 2)

Area = 2*s^2

x = s

Area = 2 * x^2

Area of the larger squares = 2 * (x+5)^2

Total Area

x*(x + 5) + 2x^2 + 2(x + 5)^2 = 120                 Expand

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 120     Remove the brackets

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 120      collect the like terms on the left

5x^2 + 25x +  50 = 120                                   Subtract 120 from both sides.

5x^2 + 25x - 70 = 0                                         Divide through by 5

x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0                                               Factor

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0                                                 x + 7 has no meaning  

x - 2 =  0

x = 2                                                              

Perimeter

P = 2*w + 2*L

w = 2

L = 2 + 5

L = 7

P = 2*2 + 2 * 7

P = 4 + 14

P = 18

May someone assist me?
raketka [301]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>15 is the answer.</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths are equal - supposedly

30                          25

?                              ?

25 + ? = 45

-25        - 25

? = 20

45 - 30 = 15

The question mark should be equal to 15.

Hope this helps,

Imogene invested $8,000 in a bank account that pays 8 percent simple interest at the end of each year. Her friend invested the s
Natali5045456 [20]

The right system of equations to describe the situation would be on the form:

x1 = 8000 + y1*t

and

x2 = 8000 + y2*t

where x1 and x2 represents the total money of Imogene and her friend respectively at the end of t years.

Now for the value of amount earned, y1 and y2:

y1=8000*0.08

y2=2000*√(t-2)
