Answer:

length=8 , wide=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length=x and wide=y

convert the question into two equations

3+y=x .......1

xy=40 .......2

so we need to substitute x into y or y into x

x=3+y ,

(3+y)y=40

y²+3y=40

y²+3y-40=0

from that use calculator or manually factorise it

(y+8)(y-5)=0

y= –8 , y=5

we need to choose positive answer so y=5

then find for x

5x=40

x=8

Find the 5th (not fourth) of given geometric sequence. 2000, 1000, 500,...
Greeley [361]

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first term

1000/2000 = 1/2

We multiply each term by 1/2

2000, 1000, 500

To find the next term 500*1/2 = 500/2 = 250

To find the 5th term

250*1/2 = 125
