Answer:
17ft wide
Step-by-step explanation:
The room is 9 by 19ft
Length (x) = 19ft
Width(y) = 9ft
Area of the rug = 119ft^2
x*y = 119 ...........(1)
For the second equation we will make sure the strip around the room is uniform in size
9 - x = 19 - y
-x = 19 - 9 -y
-x = 10 - y
x = y - 10 ..........(2)
Put the value x in equation 1
(y - 10)y = 119
y^2 - 10y = 119
y^2 - 10y - 119 = 0
a = 1, b = -10, c= -119
Use quadratic formula to solve the equation
y = (-b +/-√b^2 -4ac) / 2a
y = [-(-10) +/- √ (-10)^2 - 4(1)(-119)] /2(1)
y = (10 +/- √100 + 476) /2
y = (10+/-√ 576 ) / 2
y = (10 +/- 24) / 2
y = (10 + 24) /2 or (10 - 24)/2
y = 34/2 or -14/2
y = 17 or -7
y = 17 ft
Recall that x = y - 10
x = 17 - 10
x = 7ft
Answer: 31 : 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the following:
Alice's amount = P
Bob's amount = Q
Amount received = n
If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob ;then she will have $4$ times as much money as Bob.
P + n = 4(Q - n)
P + n = 4Q - 4n
P = 4Q - 4n - n
P = 4Q - 5n - - - - (1)
If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob
P - n = 3(Q + n)
P - n = 3Q + 3n
P = 3Q + 3n + n
P = 3Q + 4n - - - - - - (2)
Equating both equations - (1) and (2)
4Q - 5n = 3Q + 4n
4Q - 3Q = 4n + 5n
Q = 9n
Express P in terms of n, use either equation (1) or (2)
From equation 2:
P = 3Q + 4n
Substituting Q = 9n
P = 3(9n) + 4n
P = 27n + 4n
P = 31n
Alice's amount = P, Bob's = Q
Ratio = P:Q
31 : 9

Answer:
x² - 6x = -5
x = {1, 5}
Step-by-step explanation:
The square of a number minus six times a number equals negative five.
x² - 6x = -5
Add 5 to both sides
x² - 6x + 5 = 0
Factor
(x - 1)(x - 5) = 0
x = {1, 5}

First, multiply 5.4 with 15.75:
5.4 x 15.75 = 85.05
Next, add:
85.05 + 23.3 = 108.35
108.35 is your answer.
