Answer:
L = 20
W = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
L = (w + 10)
NL = (w + 13)
Divide 299 by 13:
299 ÷ 13 = 23
So, 23 x 13 = 299
L = 23
W = 13
Subtract 3 from both to get the original length and width
Yes I think it really is the correct answer
Okay, i don't want to give you the direct answer because i want you to know how to do it ... First you multuply $4.30 x .4 and you will get a number... remember that number in your head and subtract it from the original amount of $4.30... then once you get the number from subtracting the discount, multiply that number by .6..... then with that number, add the sales tax and there is your answer!
You can use factors to solve. Determine all the factor pairs of 24, find the two that are two numbers apart.
1, 24 X
2, 12 X
3, 8 X
4, 6 YES!
Algebraic way to solve using Quadratics:
l = 2 + w
A = lw
A = (2 + w)w Substitute (2 + w) for l
24 = (2 + w)w Substitute 24 in for the area
24 = 2w + w^2 Distribute
w^2 + 2w - 24 = 0 Set equal to 0 (put in standard form)
(w + 6) (w - 4) = 0 Factor
w + 6 = 0 and w - 4 = 0 Set each factor equal to 0.
So w= -6 or w = 4 ... -6 makes no sense for a length! So the width must be 4 and the length will be 4 + 2, which is 6.
