Answer:

length is 14.4ft and the width is 12.4ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the aquarium = length * width * height

Given

Volume = 300ft^3

Height = 3feet

l = w+4

Substitute

300 = 3w(w+4)

100 = w(w+4)

100 = w^2+4w

w^2+4w-100 = 0

w = 4±√16+400/2

w =4±√416/2

w = 4±20.4/2

w = 24.4/2

w = 12.2feet

Since l = w+4

l = 12.2+4

l = 16.4ft

hence the length is 14.4ft and the width is 12.4ft

(x+1)(2x-4)(1/x+1) = (x+1)(2x-4)(1-5/2x-4)
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Solution:

(x+1)(2x-4)(\frac{1}{x}+1)=(x+1)(2x-4)(1-\frac{5}{2x}-4)\\(x+1)(2x-4)(\frac{1}{x}+1)-(x+1)(2x-4)(1-\frac{5}{2x}-4) = 0\\(x+1)(2x-4)(\frac{1}{x}+1-(1-\frac{5}{2x}-4))=0\\(x+1)(2x-4)(\frac{1}{x}+1-(-3\frac{5}{2x}))=0\\(x+1)(2x-4)(\frac{1}{x}+1+3+\frac{5}{2x})=0\\(x+1)(2x-4)(\frac{1}{x}+4+\frac{5}{2x})=0\\(x+1)(2x-4)(\frac{5x^{2}+8x+2}{2x} )=0\\

x+1=0\\x=-1\\\\2x-4=0\\x=2\\\\\frac{5x^{2}+8x+2}{2x}=0\\x=\frac{-4+\sqrt[]{6}}{5}\\x=\frac{-4-\sqrt[]{6}}{5}

Answer:

x=-1\\x=2\\x=\frac{-4+\sqrt[]{6}}{5}\\x=\frac{-4-\sqrt[]{6}}{5}

The measure of an angle is seventy-one times the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
steposvetlana [31]

Let the smallest angle = x

Then the larger one = 71x

Supplementary angles are always equal to 180o

x + 71x = 180o Add the left side

72x = 180 Divide by 72

x = 180/72

x = 2.5

The smallest angle = 2.5 degrees

The largest angle = 2.5 * 71

The largest angle= 177.5 degrees.

At 6:00 A.M. the temperature was 33°F. By noon the temperature had increased by 10°F and by 3:00 P.M. it had increased another 1
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The temperature needs to decrease by 7°F to return to the original temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature starts at 33 degrees then increases by 10 then 12 then decreases by 15 which will equal 40.

33 + 10 = 43

43 + 12 = 55

55 - 15 = 40

40 - 33 = 7

The temperature needs to decrease by 7 degrees.
