Several years ago, Matt built a rectangular flower bed at his house. The width of the flower bed was 14 inches less than the len

gth of the flower bed. This spring, Matt decides to build a new rectangular flower bed at his house that covers the same area as the old flower bed. After some planning, he decides that the length of the new flower bed should be 8 inches less than the width of the old flower bed, and that the width of the new flower bed should 8 inches greater than two times the length of the old flower bed.
What is the approximate length of the old flower bed?
A. 28.23 inches
B. 16.37 inches
C. 6.23 inches
D. 24.47 inches

Answer:

A. 28.23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the are of the old and new flower bed are the same,

                A_{old} = A_{new}

 l(l- 14) = (l- 22)(2l+ 8)

l^{2}- 14l = 2l^{2} +8l -44l -176

l^{2}- 14l = 2l^{2} -36l -176

combining the terms to form a quadratic equation;

l^{2} - 2l^{2} -14l +36l +176 = 0

-l^{2} +22l + 176 = 0

multiply through by minus sign;

l^{2} -22l - 176 = 0

Applying the quadratic formula,

    \frac{-b }{2} ± \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac }

a = 1, b= -22 and c = -176

substitute these values in the equation,

=  \frac{22}{2} ±\sqrt{484 + 704}

= 28.233688

= 28.23 inches

Whatis the value of y?​
Romashka [77]
Answer is A, y = 65

The top angle is 50 because 180 - 130 = 50
Since the top angle is 50, the two bottom angles have to add up to 130. Since the bottom angles are the same, you can do 130 / 2 to find the angles which equals 65.

Andrew uses 630 one-inch unit cubes to completely fill the inside of a rectangular box. Which could be the dimensions of the box
dsp73

we have 630 one-inch unit cubes and we want to completely fill the rectangular box (unknown dimensions).

If all the cubes are fitted tightly inside rectangular box without living any space, then box volume would be equal to cubes volume.

There are 630 one-inch unit cubes, so volume of cubes = 630 cubic inches.

Now the volume of rectangular box would also be 630 cubic inches.

We know the formula for volume of rectangular box = length × width × height.

So we need to find any three positive integers whose product is 630.

Out of all given choices, only option A satisfies the condition of factors of 630.

Hence, option A i.e. (7 in x 9 in x 10 in) is the final answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if f(x)=3x-1 and g(x)=2x+5 then

f(x)-g(x)=3x-1-(2x+5)

f(x)-g(x)=3x-1-2x-5

f(x)-g(x)=x-6
