Can you be more specific because the question doesn’t make sense
Answer:
- dimensions: 12 ft by 5 ft
- area: 60 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the shorter dimension in feet. Then the longer one is x+7 and the Pythagorean theorem tells us the relation of these to the diagonal is ...
x² + (x+7)² = 13²
2x² +14x + 49 = 169 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x² +7x -60 = 0 . . . . . subtract 169 and divide by 2
(x +12)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the equation
x = -12 or +5 . . . . . . . only the positive value of x is useful here.
The short dimension is 5 ft, so the long dimension is 12 ft. The area is their product, 60 ft².

<em>Comment on finding the area</em>
The quadratic equation above can be rearranged and factored as ...
x(x +7) = 60
Since the dimensions of the garden are x and (x+7), this product is the garden's area. This equation tells us the area is 60. We don't actually have to find the dimensions.
X should equal 52. Sorry if I am wrong.
Answer:8x + -4 > 12
8x > 16
x > 2

Answer:
Correct option is D 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the laptop's original cost be = L
After 20% discount its price will be (100 - 20)% × L = 0.8L
8% sales tax on this price = (100 + 8)% × 0.8L = 1.08 × 0.8L
So, p = 1.08 × 0.8L
⇒ L =
