Giselle's youth club sells cookies to fund their trips and activities. Each year they need to earn $1,247 from selling cookies.

For each box of cookies they sell, they make $1.45. If Giselle's club has already made $472.70 from selling cookies, how many more boxes do they need to sell to meet their goal?

Price per box, P = $1.45 .

Money left, M = $1247 - $472.70 = $774.3  .

Let, number of boxes are x.

So,

x = \dfrac{774.3}{1.45}\\\\x = 534\ boxes

Therefore, they have to sell 534 more boxes.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The width of a rectangle is 6 kilometers less than twice its length. if its area is 108 square​ kilometers, find the dimensions
Art [367]
Hi there!

Answer:
length = 9 kilometres
Width = 12 kilometres

Let's solve this problem step by step!
To find our answer we need to set up and solve an equation.

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by x.
The width of the rectangle can therefore be expressed by 2x - 6.

The area of a rectangle can be found by using the formula:
A = width × length

Plug in the data from the formula
A = x (2x - 6).

Simplify using rainbow technique.
x(2x - 6) = 2 {x}^{2} - 6x

Now we've found the simplified expression that expresses the area of the rectangle. Therefore, we can now set up and start solve the equation.

2 {x}^{2} - 6x = 108
Subtract 108

2 {x}^{2} - 6x - 108 = 0
Divide by 2.

{x}^{2} - 3x - 54
(x - 9)(x + 6) = 0
Rule AB = 0, gives A is 0 or B is 0.

x - 9 = 0 \\ x = 9 \\ \\ x + 6 = 0 \\ x = - 6

The length of the rectangle, which was represented by x, must be 9 (since it cannot be a negative number).

Length
x = 9
Width
2x - 6 = 2 \times 9- 6 = 18 - 6 = 12

Answer:
length = 9 kilometres
Width = 12 kilometres

Find two consecutive integers such that the sum of their squares is 145.
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 8 and 9 or -9 and -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first of the two integers. Then, since the numbers are consecutive, x+1 is the other integer. We then know that the sum of the squares of x and x+1 is equal to 145. So, now we have the equation

x^2+(x+1)^2=145

which can be expanded and simplified to

2x^2+2x+1=145

which then gives us the quadratic equation

2x^2+2x-144=0

This can then be factored into

2(x^2+x-72)=0

Which can be simplified further into

2(x-8)(x+9)=0

So either x=8 or x=-9. This gives us two solutions: 8 and 9 or -9 and -8.

Hope this helps! CHEERS!
