Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The length of the garden 8m greater than 2 times the width.

Area of the garden is 280 m²

Let us consider the length as x and width as y.

Sp, we can day length as :-

x = 8 + 2y ---(1)

Now, we know that:-

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

280 = x * y

We can replace the value of x now,

280 = y × ( 8 + 2y)

280 = 8y + 2y²

2y² + 8y - 280 = 0

y² + 4y - 140 = 0

Factorise it.

(y -10)(y + 14)

Cancelling -ve value, we get the width as 10 metres.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = w

Length = 2w + 8

Area of rectangular garden = 280 square meter

length * width = 280

(2w + 8 ) *w = 280

2w * w + 8*w = 280

2w² + 8w = 280

2w² + 8w - 280 = 0

Divide the whole equation by 2

w² + 4w - 140 = 0      

w² + 14w - 10w - 14 *10 = 0

w(w + 14) - 10(w + 14) = 0

(w + 14)(w - 10)= 0

w - 10 = 0       {Ignore w + 14, as measurements will not be -ve}

w = 10 m

l = 2*10 +8

= 20 +8

l  = 28 m

Solve the equation. Round to the nearest thousandth. -12e-x + 8 = 7​
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

-12e-x + 8 = 7

-12e-x = 7-8

-12e-x = -1

12e-x = 1

e-x = 1/12

ln(e-x) = ln(1/12)

x = -ln(1/12)

x = -2.485

A rectangle has a perimeter of 54 cm. It has a length of 15 cm. What is its area? *
d1i1m1o1n [39]

the area is 180 cm. to find the perimeter you would do 15+15+14+14 to get 54 cm. So for area you do (l×w) which is 15×14=180.

Mark says that the number square root two is irrational number because he can write it as a fraction square root two over one is
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number are numbers that can be expressed as as fraction. They can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. An irrational is quite the opposite.  An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.

Taking square root of two as an example;

√2 cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers because the result will always be a decimal. If expressed as √2/1, it is still not a rational number because of the square root of 2 at the numerator. Square root of 2 is not an integer even though 1 is an integer.

Mark is wrong because √2 is irrational and it is irrational because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers <em>not due to the fact that he can write it as a fraction.</em>

A textbook store sold a combined total of 392 physics and psychology textbooks in a week. The number of physics textbooks sold w
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Psychology textbooks = 98 and physics textbooks = 294

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are x psychology textbooks sold.

No of physics textbooks sold = 3x

ATQ,

A textbook store sold a combined total of 392 physics and psychology textbooks in a week.

x + 3x = 392

4x = 392

x = 98

It means there are 98 psychology textbooks sold and 3x = 3(98) = 294 physics textbooks sold.
