Answer:

difference in area = 16 ft²

if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft

if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacks rectangular patio

width = a

length = 2a - 1

area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

area = 120 ft²

a(2a - 1)

2a² - a - 120 = 0

(a - 8) (2a + 15)

a = 8 or -15/2

Ron's rectangular patio

width = a

length = a + 5

area = lw

area = 104 ft²

a (a + 5) = 104

a² + 5a -104 = 0

(a + 8)  (a - 13)

a = -8 or 13

How many square feet longer is jack patio longer than Ron's patio is the difference in their area. Therefore,

120 - 104 = 16 ft²

The value 8 or 13 can be used for a since the width a have to be the same.

if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft

if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft

The simplified form of 0.02(0.06+0.008)is​
kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use PEDMAS. So first addition has to be done as it is inside parenthesis. After that multiplication has to be done

0.060  +

<u>0.008</u>

<u>0.068</u>

In decimal multiplication, first multiply the numbers ie, 2 * 68 which is 136. Then count the number of decimal places in both the multiplicands and keep the same number of decimal places in the result(136).

0.02 * 0.068 = 0.00136
