Answer:

1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(10+2x)(14+2x) = 221

4x² + 48x - 81 = 0

4x² + 54x - 6x - 81 = 0

2x(2x + 27) - 3(2x + 27) = 0

(2x + 27)(2x - 3) = 0

x = -27/2, 3/2

x = 3/2 or 1½ or 1.5 inches

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

₹42,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sonali's monthly income be ₹x

<h2>According to the question </h2>

15\% \:ofx + 55\% \: of \: x + 12750 = x

=  >  \frac{15}{100} x +  \frac{55}{100} x + 12750 = x

=  >  \frac{70}{100} x + 12750 = x

=  > 12750 = (1 -  \frac{70}{100} )x

=  > 12750 = 30x

=  > x =  \frac{12750 \times 10}{3}

=  > 42500

So your answer will be ₹42,500.
