Answer:
width = 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of a rectangle is (x) units, then that means that the width of a rectangle is x - 4 units.
the area of a rectangle is length * width
so just substitute the values that we have now.
x (length) * (x-4) width = 12 (area of rectangle)
so that gives us
x^2 - 4x =12
subtract 12 from both sides
x^2 - 4x - 12 =0
now factor this equation
x^2 + 2x - 6x -12 = 0
x(x+2) - 6(x+2) = 0
(x-6)(x+2) = 0
x = 6, or x = -2 REMEMBER THAT VALUE OF x = LENGTH, IT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE AS YOU CANT HAVE NEGATIVE VALUE OF A SIDE
length = 6, and width = 6 -4 = 2
Let 'w' represent the width of the parking lot, then 'w+6' represents its length
area = width * length
160 = w * (w+6)
solving for 'w' we have a positive value of w=10
10+6=16
the width of the parking lot is 10 yards, the length of the parking lot is 16 yards
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
If y is proportional to x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion
To find k divide both sides by x
k = 
This value must be constant for all ordered pairs, thus
k = 
= 
k = 
=
k = 
=
k =
Since k is constant for all ordered pairs then y is proportional to x
12 inches go into one foot, so we can calculate the volume of the tank in inches to make the calculations that follow easier. Therefore, to calculate the volume of the tank, we use length x breadth x height = 4 x 2 x 2 = 16 square feet x 12 for square inches = 192 square inches.
Every 12 square inches Joseph can fit a one inch fish. The fish that he has are 3 inches long, therefore he can only fit one fish every 36 square inches.
That means that if we take the total volume of the tank and divide it by the space that a 3 inch fish will take up, we are left with 192/36 = 5.3 fish.
You cannot have a third of a fish, so we round off to the nearest whole number, and we determine that Joseph can put 5 fish in his new aquarium.
Answer:
2x² + 7x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this polynomial, you need to distribute/multiply, (x+2) with (2x+3).
You would first multiply (x) with 2x and 3. This would give you 2x² and 3x. You would then multiply 2 with 2x and 3. This would give you 4x and 6. You then add the like-terms, which are 3x and 4x, which gives you 7x. This would give you your final expression of 2x² +7x + 6.
(x+2)(2x+3)
2x²+ 3x + 4x + 6
2x² +7x + 6
