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

Convert Fractions To Mixed Numbers:

-1 \ \frac{3}{7} = \frac{-10}{7}

-3 \ \frac{2}{3} = \frac{-11}{3}

Multiply Across:

\frac{-10 \ * \ -11}{7 * 3}

= \frac{110}{21}

Simplify:

= 5 \ \frac{5}{21}

Can someone please explain to me how to get the answer for the question is the picture? I don't get it at all, and the internet
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The original price of the item is $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the original price, we have to divide the sale price by the result of one minus the discount in percentage form.

So:

First convert 25% to a decimal, 0.25.

OP(original price) = 21 ÷ 1 - 0.25 =

1 - 0.25 = 0.75

21 ÷ 0.75 = 28.

What is 100 x 0.95=_____
kifflom [539]

Answer: 95

Step-by-step explanation:

That’s the same as 0.95 of 100. That’s because 0.95 represents 0.95 and 100 represents 100, the of is the same as x. You can switch the two numbers and you can still get the same answer. So, 0.95 of 100 is 95.
