8
Step-by-step explanation:
if we take the 2 that is in the R.H.S and put it in L.H.S
it becomes 16÷2=8
Answer:
- 525 = (w+4)(w)
- 21 ft by 25 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the floor. Then the length of the floor is (w+4) and its area is ...
A = LW
525 = (w+4)(w)
w^2 +4w -525 = 0
(w -21)(w +25) = 0 . . . . factor the above
Solutions are ...
w = 21, w = -25
We are interested in the positive solution: w = 21.
The floor is 21 feet wide and 25 feet long.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
Sometimes, when the factors aren't obvious, it works well to write an equation for the average of the dimensions. Here, we can represent that with x, and use (x-2) for the width, and (x+2) for the length. Then we have ...
525 = (x-2)(x+2) = x^2 -4
529 = x^2
√529 = 23 = x
Then w=23 -2 = 21, and the length is w+4 = 25.
J=amount Jake has; F=amount Fred has=2J
J+F=$54
J+2J=$54
3J=$54
J=$18
ANSWER 1: Jake has $18.
F=2J=2($18)=$36 ANSWER 2: Fred has $36.
