Ok so I like to go in steps with these questions- first draw a picture and identify your variables.
W=width
L= 3w-1
Now we know that length times width gets us area so we plug in our variables into the area equation.
200 = w(3w-1)
When you foil that equation you end up with a quadratic : 3w^2-w-200 = 0
Either factor that or use the quadratic formula to get
w= 8.33 and w= -8
Since you can't have a negative dimension you need to use 8.33 and plug it back into your length equation.
Final answer:
w= 8.33ft
l= 23.99ft
*Now I simplified the decimals a little bit so you end up with 199.8ft^2 for the area so just add a few decimals on here and there*
6x-8=8x-10 then 2=2x which means x=1
Perimeter= 2 ( length + width)
2×(12+6)
2×18
=36
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
$100-$46 = $54 which is how much was spent. 54-1.45 = 52.55 divide that by 10 and you get 5.25
Each towel was $5.25
