Answer:
Length = 22 cm
Width = 4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 88 cm²
Length = x + 7
Width = x - 11
Area of rectangle = length*width
Therefore:
(x + 7)(x - 11) = 88
x(x - 11) +7(x - 11) = 88
x² - 11x + 7x - 77 = 88
Add like terms
x² - 4x - 77 = 88
x² - 4x - 77 - 88 = 88 - 88
x² - 4x - 165 = 0
Factorize
x² - 15x + 11x - 165 = 0
x(x - 15) +11(x - 15) = 0
(x + 11)(x - 15) = 0
x = -11 or x = 15
Let's use the positive number.
Plug in the value of x
Length = 15 + 7 = 22 cm
Width = x - 11 = 15 - 11 = 4 cm
i would say b
the answer for a is t-10p= x
t= tomatoes
p= pounds
x= leftover amount of tomatoes.
no it would be 5600 i think
