Answer:

width = 8 feet and length = 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w then the length = 3w - 12 ( 12 less than 3 times the width )

The area (A) of a rectangle is

A = length × width, that is

w(3w - 12) = 96 ← area of floor

3w² - 12w = 96 ( subtract 96 from both sides )

3w² - 12w - 96 = 0 ← in standard form for a quadratic equation

Divide all terms by 3

w² - 4w - 32 = 0

Consider the product of the factors of the constant term ( - 32) which sum to give the coefficient of the w- term (- 4)

The factors are - 8 and + 4, since

- 8 × 4 = - 32 and - 8 + 4 = - 4, hence

(w - 8)(w + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w - 8 = 0 ⇒ w = 8

w + 4 = 0 ⇒ w = - 4

However, w > 0 ⇒ w = 8

Hence width = 8 feet

length = 3w - 12 = (3 × 8) - 12 = 24 - 12 = 12 feet

A game store charges a monthly membership fee of $7.50, but then the charge to rent a game is only $1.00. Another store has no m
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

6 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Monthly membership fee of store 1 is $7.5, but then the charge to rent a game is only $1.00

Another store has no membership fee, but that store charges $2.00 to rent a game.

Let there be n games needed to be rented each month for the total fees to be the same from either store.

Cost of first store = $7.50+$1.00n

Cost of another store = $2.00

If cost equals,

$7.50+$1.00n=$2

n=5.5 \approx 6

Hence, 6 games needed to be rented each month.

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. How much water should she add to make the following concentrations? Tell Ella how much syrup she will
AfilCa [17]

I'm guessing the % of syrup refers to the % of sugar it has, therefore:

50% = 50 / 100 = 0.5

0.5 * x = 0.5

x = 0.5/0.5

x = 1

She will have 1 lbs of syrup
