Original:
<span>The width and length of a rectangle are consecutive odd integers
</span>so W = x and L = x + 2
<span>If the length is increased by 5 feet, then new L = x + 2 + 5 = x + 7
</span>
A = L x W
60 = (x + 7) x
60 = x^2 + 7x
x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 12) = 0
x = 5 and x = -12
From here you have x = W = 5 ft and L = x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 feet
Area of original = 5 x 7 = 35
answer
<span>the area of the original rectangle: </span>35 ft^2
Answer: the answer is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The labor fee is $14.25, each quart of oil costs $2.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $x be thee price of each quart of oil and $y be a flat fee for labor.
1. If the oil change for one car required 5 quarts of oil, then these 5 quarts cost $5x and together with a flat fee for labor it cost $25.50. Thus,
5x+y=25.50.
2. If the oil change for another car required 7 quarts of oil, then these 7 quarts cost $7x and together with a flat fee for labor it cost $30.00. Thus,
7x+y=30.00.
3. Subtract from the second equation the first one, then

Substitute it into the first equation:

The labor fee is $14.25, each quart of oil costs $2.25.
