Answer:

$47,600 Spent on home repairs

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Devon is spending 12 percent of the home cost on repairs

We know the home cost is 42,500

So we just add 12 percent to the bundle

We know 42,500 is 100 percent of the price

And we want to add another 12 percent since the question is asking for the total amount spent on homes

So initially we just multiply 42,500 by 112% or 1.12

Now just multiply

You’ll get 47,600

Length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width. Four squares are constructed outside the rectangle such that each of the sq

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is one of those questions that can throw you. The problem is that do you include the original rectangle or not. The way it is written it sounds like you shouldn't

However if you don't the question gives you 2 complex answers. (answers with the sqrt( - 1) in them.

Solution

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Area of the rectangle: L * w = x * (x + 5)

Area of the smaller squares (there are 2)

Area = 2*s^2

x = s

Area = 2 * x^2

Area of the larger squares = 2 * (x+5)^2

Total Area

x*(x + 5) + 2x^2 + 2(x + 5)^2 = 120 Expand

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 120 Remove the brackets

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 120 collect the like terms on the left

5x^2 + 25x + 50 = 120 Subtract 120 from both sides.

5x^2 + 25x - 70 = 0 Divide through by 5

x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0 Factor

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 x + 7 has no meaning

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

Perimeter

P = 2*w + 2*L

w = 2

L = 2 + 5

L = 7

P = 2*2 + 2 * 7

P = 4 + 14

P = 18
