86 years old because you subtract 2017-1931
Nine and a half times.
***
you can put it fully nine times. You reach 18 like this. But you have 1 more to go until 19! So, just cut the 2 in half to get 1, and put that in!
The answer to this question is (9.5)...
There is no option saying 9.5?
Answer:
Part one: The function rule for the area of the rectangle is A(x) = 3x² - 2x
Part two: The area of the rectangle is 8 feet² when its width is 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the width of the rectangle is x
∵ The width of the rectangle = x feet
∵ The length of the rectangle is 2 ft less than three times its width
→ That means multiply the width by 3, then subtract 2 from the product
∴ The length of the rectangle = 3(x) - 2
∴ The length of the rectangle = (3x - 2) feet
∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width
∴ A(x) = (3x - 2) × x
→ Multiply each term in the bracket by x
∵ A(x) = x(3x) - x(2)
∴ A(x) = 3x² - 2x
∴ The function rule for the area of the rectangle is A(x) = 3x² - 2x
∵ The rectangle has a width of 2 ft
∵ The width = x
∴ x = 2
→ Substitute x by 2 in A(x)
∵ A(2) = 3(2)² - 2(2)
∴ A(2) = 3(4) - 4
∴ A(2) = 12 - 4
∴ A(2) = 8
∴ The area of the rectangle is 8 feet² when its width is 2 feet
