Answer:

length = 9 in ; width = 4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

1) formula of the area of a rectangle

A = base x width

2) write an equation with the given informations:

w x (3w-3) = 36

3) solve the equation

-  multiply W by 3w and -3

3w^2 -3w = 36

- divide the two members by 3

w^2 - w = 12

- add up -12 at the two members

w^2-w -12 = 12 -12

w^2 - w - 12 = 0

- find two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -12 and factorise the equation

(w-4)(w+3) = 0

- find the two solutions

w-4 = 0

w = 4

w+3 = 0

w = -3

4)remember that a length can’t be negative.

w = 4 is the only solution

5) find the length

4x3 - 3 = 9

30% of number A is 10 more than 20% of number B. 30% of number B is 35 more than 20% of number A. Find the numbers A and B.
anygoal [31]

Answer:

A = 76.85

B =65.28

Step-by-step explanation:

(30/100)A = 10 + (20/100)B

0.3A - 0.2B = 10 ...... equation (i)

(30/100)B + 35 = (20/100)A

0.2A - 0.3B = 35 ........ equation (ii)

From equation (i)

0.3A = 10 - 0.2B

A = (10 - 0.2b) / 0.3

A = 33.33 - 0.67B ........equation (iii)

Put equation (iii) into equation (ii)

0.2(33.33 - 0.67B) - 0.3B = 35

6.67 - 0.134B - 0.3B = 35

0.434B = 35 - 6.67

B = 28.33 / 0.434

B = 65. 275 = 65.28

Put B = 65.28 into equation (i)

0.3A - 0.2B = 10

0.3A - 0.2(65.28) = 10

0.3A - 13.056 = 10

0.3A = 10 + 13.056

A = 23.056/ 0.3

A = 76.85
