The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:

length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft

initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2

Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2

width of the strips: x

New length: 140 + x

New width: 90 + x

New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254

Solution of the equation:

12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254

=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0

Use the quadratic formula.

x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =

x = 14.92

The other solution is negative so it is discarded.

Answer: 15 ft

An investment of 100,000 AED increases at a rate of 16% per year. What is
stepan [7]

Answer:

1,946,075.95 AED

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we write the general formula for an exponential increase as follows;

V(t) = A( 1 + r)^t

where V(t) is the value after some number of years t

A is the investment amount which is 100,000 AED

r is the rate of increase which is 16% = 16/100 = 0.16

t is the number of years which is 20

substituting these values;

V(20) = 100,000( 1 + 0.16)^20

V(20) = 100,000(1.16)^20

V(20) = 1,946,075.95 AED

What is y=-4/3x +6. y=2
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The given equation is:
[/tex]y=-\frac{4}{3}x+6 [/tex] and we need to evaluate this for y=2.
So, first step is to plug in 2 for y in the above equation. Therefore,

2=-\frac{4}{3} x+6
2*3=-\frac{4}{3} x*3+6*3 Multiply each sides by common denominator 3
6=-4x+18
6-18= -4x Subtract 18 from each sides.
-12=-4x
-\frac{12}{-4} =-\frac{4x}{-4}
So, x=3
