Let the length be 9x and the width = 8x
Perimeter = 2(l + w) = 2(9x + 8x) = 2(17x) = 34x = 68
x = 68/34 = 2
9x = 9(2) = 18 ft
8x = 8(2) = 16 ft
Therefore, dimensions are 18 ft by 16ft
Answer:
The temperature falls 3 degrees avery day so you expect to drop 5 times after 5 days. So the temperature will fall by 5*3 = 15 dgrees. If we started at 0 degrees. We will have -15 degrees.
<u>answer:</u> 
<u>work:</u>
| distribute 3 and 5 into the parentheses.
| subtract 5x and move it over to 3x, and solve.
| subtract 12 and move it over to -10, and solve.
| divide by -2.
| final answer.
hope this helps! ❤ from peachimin
Rationalizing the denominator involves exploiting the well-known difference of squares formula,

We have

so that

Rewrite 16 and 32 as powers of 2, then simplify:






So we have <em>A</em> = 8, <em>B</em> = 2, <em>C</em> = 4, and <em>D</em> = 7, and thus <em>A</em> + <em>B</em> + <em>C</em> + <em>D</em> = 21.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is good! The length of the metal is 20 inches longer than the width. But we fold up 4-inch flaps on each side, so the height of the box is 4 inches, and the length and width will each decrease by 8 inches (4 inches on each side). Since the length and width decrease by the same amount, the length will still be 20 inches longer than the width. So the equations would be:
l = w + 20
vol = l x w x h = 1716 in3
1716 = (w + 20)(w)(4)
1716 = 4w2 + 80w
4w2 + 80w - 1716 = 0
4(w2 + 20w - 429) = 0
4(w + 33)(w - 13) = 0
w + 33 = 0, so w = -33
w - 13 = 0, so w = 13
Since the width can't be negative, the width of the box is 13 and the length is 33 (13 + 20).
But remember, the length and width of the piece of metal are each 8 inches longer than the box, so it was 41 inches by 21 inches.
