Membership is discounted $2 for first month
c=cost of one month
d=discount=$2
x=# of months
xc - 2= total cost
x for 1 month is 1, c is always 12, -2 is constant
1 x(12) - 2=10 for first month
8 months
8c -2=total cost for 8 months
8 x 12 - 2= 94 for 8 months
-45 + 150 = 105
Carol has $105 in her account after receiving her paycheck.
Angle ABC = 48
Angle PBC = 24
Angle A + Angle C = 180-24. Angle A = Angle C
Angle C = 132/2 = 66
Angle PCD = 66-24 = 42 degrees
Answer:
a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide . if both its dimensions are increased 4 m , its area is increaed by 88 m squared make a sketch and find its original dimensions of the original rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l = the original length of the original rectangle
Let w = the original width of the original rectangle
From the description of the problem, we can construct the following two equations
l=2*w (Equation #1)
(l+4)*(w+4)=l*w+88 (Equation #2)
Substitute equation #1 into equation #2
(2w+4)*(w+4)=(2w*w)+88
2w^2+4w+8w+16=2w^2+88
collect like terms on the same side of the equation
2w^2+2w^2 +12w+16-88=0
4w^2+12w-72=0
Since 4 is afactor of each term, divide both sides of the equation by 4
w^2+3w-18=0
The quadratic equation can be factored into (w+6)*(w-3)=0
Therefore w=-6 or w=3
w=-6 can be rejected because the length of a rectangle can't be negative so
w=3 and from equation #1 l=2*w=2*3=6
I hope that this helps. The difficult part of the problem probably was to construct equation #1 and to factor the equation after performing all of the arithmetic operations.
