Answer:

The width of the floor is 10 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to form expressions of width and length in terms of w. With the given information :

width = w ft

length = (w - 2) ft

Given that the area of rectange is A = length × width so you have to subtitute the expressions and value into the formula :

A = l × w

80 = (w - 2) × w

w(w - 2) = 80

w² - 2w = 80

w² - 2w - 80 = 0

(w + 8)(w - 10) = 0

w + 8 = 0

w = -8 (rejected)

w - 10 = 0

w = 10

What are the factors of the square root of 329
Andru [333]

Answer: x=-\dfrac{3}{2}, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2-10x-26=x-5

2x^2-10x-26-x+5=0  Move all terms to one side

2x^2-11x-21=0 Simplify 2{x}^{2}-10x-26-x+5

2x^2+3x-14x-21=0 Split the second term

x(2x+3)-7(2x+3)=0  Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

(2x+3)(x-7)=0 Factor out the common term 2x+3

x=-\dfrac{3}{2}, 7

\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12}


We know that:


\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a.d + b.c}{bd}


So,


\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1.12+6.1}{6.12}

\frac{12+6}{72}

\frac{18}{72}

\frac{9}{36}

\frac{3}{12}

\frac{1}{4}
