Let the width be w, then length = 2w - 1
Area = length times width = w(2w - 1) = 21.
Thus, 2w^2 - w = 21 or 2w^2 - w - 21 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation gives that w = 3.5.
Therefore, width is 3.5 ft and length is 2(3.5) - 1 = 6 ft.
Answer:
37.5% that is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Two consecutive integers are of the form
x and x + 1
Their product is equal to 56
x(x + 1) = 56
Solve and find the two numbers x and x + 1. The above equation may be written as follows
x2 + x - 56 = 0
Factor and solve
(x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
solutions: x = 7 , x = -8
x= - 8 is not valid since the number sought must be positive. Hence
x = 7 and x + 1 = 8 are the two consecutive numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the answer is -32
Step-by-step explanation: multiply -2 by itself 5 separate times.
