Answer:
width = 3.5 m
length = 18 m
Step-by-step explanation:
area = length x width
x is the width then length = 2x + 11
x(2x + 11) = 63
2x^2 + 11x - 63 = 0
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
with a = 2
b = 11
c = -63
substitute in the formula
x = [-11 +/- √(11^2 - 4(2)(-63))]2(2)
x = [-11 +/- √(121 + 504)]/4
x = [-11 +/- √625]/4
x = (-11 +/- 25)/4
x1 = (-11 + 25)/4 = 14/4 = 3.5
x2 = (-11 - 25)/4 = -36/4 = -9
since width can't be a negative number, x is 3.5
length = 2x + 11 = 2(3.5) + 11 = 18

Answer:
- 100 mL of 75% solution
- 150 mL of pure alcohol
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the quantity (in mL) of pure alcohol needed for the mix. Then the amount of 75% needed is (250-x). The amount of alcohol in the mixture is ...
1.00x +0.75(250 -x) = 0.90(250)
0.25x +187.5 = 225 . . simplify
0.25x = 37.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 187.5
x = 150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.25
(250 -x) = 100 . . . . mL of 75% solution
You need 100 mL of the 75% solution and 150 mL of pure alcohol to obtain the desired mixture.
