Answer:

Length= 17 feet

Width= 29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Original</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width= (3x -3) ft

<u>New deck</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width

= (3x -3 +x) ft

= (4x -3) ft

Area of deck= length ×width

493= (2x +1)(4x -3)

<em>Expand</em><em>:</em>

493= 2x(4x) +2x(-3) +1(4x) +1(-3)

493= 8x² -6x +4x -3

493= 8x² -2x -3

8x² -2x -3 -493= 0

8x² -2x -496= 0

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>throughout</em><em>:</em>

4x² -x -248= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(x -8)(4x +31)= 0

x -8=0 or 4x +31= 0

x= 8 or 4x= -31 (reject)

Length of new deck

= 2(8) +1

= 16 +1

= 17 ft

Width of new deck

= 4(8) -3

= 32 -3

= 29 ft

Sunset, inc., has a book value of equity of $14,865. long-term debt is $8,675. net working capital, other than cash, is $2,315.
juin [17]
Balance sheet equation states that:

Assets, A = Liabilities, L + Equity, E => A=L+E

In the current case,
L = Long term debt + Current liabilities = $8,675+$1,865 = $10,540
E = $14,865

Therefore,
A = 14,865 +10,540 = $25,405

Now,
Current assets (excluding cash) = current liabilities+Net working capital, other than cash = $1,865+$2,315 = $4,180

Additionally,
A = Fixed assets+Current assets (excluding cash) + Cash

Therefore,
Cash = 25,405-20,660-4,180 =  $565

PLEASE HELP ASAP 40 PTS
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

40 + 3x + 4 + 3x + 4 = 180

48+6x=180

48 - 48 + 6x = 180 -4 8

6x = 132

6x/6 = 132/6

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

1. since the triangle is isosceles, angles A and C will have the same measures, so to solve for x, you can add another 3x + 4 or you can multiply A by 2.

2. add like terms

3. subtract

4. divide to get x

Ella is a landscape photographer. One weekend at her gallery she sells a total of 52 prints for a total of $2,975. A small paint
rosijanka [135]
<h2>Answer:37 paintings of $50 and 15 paintings of $75</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of paintings Ella sells for $50.

Let y be the number of paintings Ella sells for $75.

Profit made through $50 paintings is 50x

Profit made through $75 paintings is 75y

So,total profit is given by 50x+75y

It is given that total profit is $2975

So,50x+75y=2975      ..(i)

Given that the total number of prints is 52

So,x+y=52      ..(ii)

using (i) and (ii),

50x+75(52-x)=2975\\50x+3900-75x=2975\\25x=925\\x=37

y=52-x=52-37=15
