Answer:

length: 6 inches

width: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number. Then the length is (n+2) and the width is (2n-1). The product of these dimensions is the area:

42 = (n+2)(2n -1) = 2n^2 +3n -2

2n^2 +3n -44 = 0 . . . . subtract 42

(n -4)(2n +11) = 0 . . . . . factor

n = 4 . . . . . . . . we aren't interested in the negative solution

Length = 4+2 = 6 . . . inches

Width = 2·4 -1 = 7 . . . inches

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2? <br><br> –10<br> –5<br> 5<br> 10
emmasim [6.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2 is -10

<u>Solution:</u>

Need to determine which value of x from given option is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

Lets first solve 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

=> 3x – 12 ≥ 5x + 2

=> 3x – 5x ≥ 12 + 2

=> -2x ≥ 14

=> -x ≥ 7

=> x ≤ -7

All the values of x which are less than or equal to -7 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2. From given option there is only one value that is -10 which is less than -7  

Hence from given option -10 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2.

For 3 days....

option 1 : 25(3) + 0.10m = 75 + 0.10m
option 2 : 60(3) = 180

180 < 75 + 0.10m
180 - 75 < 0.10m
105 < 0.10m
105 / 0.10 < m
1050 < m.....this is minutes, we need hrs
1050/60  < m
17.5 < m.......the guest would have to spend more then 17.5 hrs
