The problem says we have a square flower bed to start out with.

Let's have the sides of the squares be "x". The area of this original flower bed is x^{2}.

Then, one side of the square is enlarged by 2ft, and another side 3ft. Our new flower bed dimensions are now (x+2) and (x+3). Multiply (x+2) and (x+3) to find the area, which gets you 5x^{2} +6x+6.

We also know that the new area of the flower bed is twice the size of the original flower bed. Multiply the original area by 2, you get 2x^{2}.

With the new area and the doubled original area, we can now make an equation: 5x^{2} +6x+6=2x^{2}

Solve for x,  you get 6.

Hope this explanation helped, maybe a bit too many details but there's your answer, 6!

The ratio of dry rice to water is 1 to 2. This means that water is two times more than dry rice. Since the chef uses 9.5 cups of dry rice, the chef needs 19 cups of water.

You can check by using fractions. 9.5 / 19 in simplified form is 1/2, which is 1:2 in ratio.

Matthew purchased a washer and dryer for $2,885 using an 18-month deferred payment plan with an interest rate of 26.12%. What is
-Dominant- [34]
For a deferred payment plan no interest is accrued for the deferment period.

If $85 is made each month, then in 18 months, 18 * 85 = $1,530 must have been paid off from the balance owed.

Thus, the remaining balance after the deferment period is $2,885 - $1,530 = $1,355.
