Answer
Find out the original side length of the square .
To prove
Let us assume that the original length of the square be x.
Formula

As given
The dimensions of a square are altered so that 8 inches is added to one side while 3 inches is subtracted from the other.
Length becomes = x + 8
Breadth becomes = x -3
The area of the resulting rectangle is 126 in²
Put in the formula
(x + 8) × (x - 3) = 126
x² -3x + 8x -24 = 126
x ²+ 5x = 126 +24
x² + 5x - 150 = 0
x² + 15x - 10x - 150 = 0
x (x + 15) -10 (x +15) =0
(x + 15)(x -10) =0
Thus
x = -15 , 10
As x = -15 (Neglected this value because the side of the square cannot be negative.)
Therefore x = 10 inches be the original side of the square.
A possible answer for x would be 18
Answer: how do I graph this
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in the weekly ad 5 pound bag of organic apples will cost 13.95 dollars
To find unit rate
Unit rate can be found in two ways either cost of 1 apple or no of apples for 1 dollars
I part:
5 apples = 13.95 dollars
1 apple = 13.95/5 (since direct variation)
Unit rate for one apple= 2.79 dollars
Part II:
13.95 dollars = 1 apple
1 dollar = 1/13.95 = 0.071
=0.07
But normally since apples are countable as 1,2 ... we use the first type of rate only unit rate per apple
