The length and width of the garden will be obtain as follows:
let the length be x ft, the width will be (x+3.5)ft
area of the bed will be:
A=length*width
11.76=x(x+3.5)
11.76=x^2+3.5x
thus
x^2+3.5x-11.76=0
solving this by quadratic formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
thus plugging in the values we obtain
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt(3.5^2-4(-11.76*1))]/2
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt59.29]/2
x=[-3.5+/-7.7]/2
x=4.2 or -11.2
thus the length will be x=4.2 ft and the width will be x-3.5=0.7 ft
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
(2.4×10³)×(3×10^x)=7.2×10^9
(3x10^x)=(7.2×10^9)/(2.4×10^3)
3×10^x=3×10^6
10^x=10^6
*when bases are same ,powers are equated*
thus x=6
£4 and 720p, 12 times 60p equals 720p
We can use two different ways to solve this equation:
Because the board is 25 off, we can multiply the price and subtract the result:
30 - 0.25(30) = 30 - 7.5 = $22.50
We can also solve by multiplying the total price by 0.75
(1 - 0.25)(30) = 0.75(30) = $22.50
The sales price is $22.50
