Answer:

length = 11 yard

width =  5 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L W

where A = 55 yard

           L = 3W - 4

find: Length

        width

solution:

A = L W

55 = (3W - 4) W

55 = 3W² - 4W

3W² - 4W - 55 = 0

use quadratic equation to solve for W:

W = <u> - (-4) ± √(-4)² - 4(3)-55 </u>

                    2(3)

W = 5,  W = -11/3

substitute W=5 to equation L = 3W - 4 to solve for L

L = 3W - 4

L = 3(5) - 4

L = 15 - 4

L = 11

therefore, the dimensions of a rectangle:

length = 11 yard

width =  5 yard

What would my final balance be if i put $650 in the bank for 60 months with an interest rate of 6%?
Flauer [41]
Your final balance would be $2,340.

I = Prt
Percent (6%) x rate (650) x time (60 months) = 2,340

6% = 0.06

0.06 x 60 x 650 = 2,340
