Answer:
Area= 105.12 feet squared
Where is the work????????????
Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.
(x+9)(x+2)*4
becomes:
(x^2+11x+18)*4
= 4x^2 + 44x + 72
anyway, this is how I would do this problem:
(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912
(x+9)(x+2) = 228
x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228
x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0
(x+21)(x-10) = 0
x = -21 or 10
The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10
The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4
or 19, 12, 4
Answer:
4 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken for them to have the same number of strawberries be x minutes.
<u>Initially</u>
Ruby: 10 strawberries
Sapphire: 30 strawberries
<u>After x minutes</u>
Ruby: (10 +3x) strawberries
Sapphire: (30 -2x) strawberries
Since we let x minutes be the amount of time that has passed when they have the same amount of strawberries,
10 +3x= 30 -2x
Bring all x terms to one side, constant to the other:
3x +2x= 30 -10
Simplify:
5x= 20
Divide both sides by 5:
x= 20 ÷5
x= 4
∴ It will take 4 minutes.
