Answer:

Here's what we know:

A = Lw (Area is length times width)

L = 2w + 6 (length is twice the width plus 6)

A = 140 (Area is 140 m2)

Plug in the variable values:

140 = w(2w + 6)

Distribute:

140 = 2w2 + 6w

Subtract 140:

2w2 + 6w - 140 = 0

Factor out a 2:

2(w2 + 3w - 70) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

w2 + 3w - 70 = 0

(w + m)(w - n)

When we factor out the quadratic, we know it's going to be a +/- situation because the c value in the quadratic is negative, and the two numbers are going to be three away, the plus next to the 3 meaning that the larger number is going to be positive:

(w + 10)(w - 7) = 0

w = -10, 7

We can't have a negative length, so we can toss out the -10, leaving us with w = 7 meters.

L = 2 * 7 + 6

L = 14 + 6

L = 20

Check:

140 = 20 * 7

140 = 140

Equation 1 is 2W - 6 = L
equation 2 is 140= W * L

L=10
W=8

vredina [299]

Answer: common difference is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

a,a+d,a+4d

7,7+d,7+4d

(7+d)/7=(7+4d)/(7+d)

(7+d)(7+d)=7(7+4d)

49+14d+d^2=49+28d

d^2-14d=0

d(d-14)=0

d=0 or d-14=0

d=14

Write a polynomial that represents the area of the square.
Tema [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Area = 49n² - 70n + 25    

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Length of the side = 7n - 5

Formula

Area of a square = side x side

Process

1.- Substitute values

Area = (7n - 5)(7n - 5)

2.- Expand

Area = 49n² - 35n - 35n + 25

3.- Simplify

Area = 49n² - 70n + 25    

4.- The polynomial is 49n² - 70n + 25

What is the difference between a 30° angle and a -30° angle?
ipn [44]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

A 30° angle is measured 30° counterclockwise while a -30° angle is measured 30° clockwise. Therefore, you can say -30°=360-30°=330° because 30° is a reference angle located in Quadrant IV.

Rashid [163]
When it comes to probability, the answer is always expressed as part of a whole. With that being said, your answer for this problem can be a ratio, fraction or in percentage. Probability is the study of finding the chances or odds of an event happening with the use of statistics. You are already given the statistics of baby girls and baby boys. Note that you are asked to find the probability of the baby being a girl. So, the part here includes the 248, while the whole is 248+13 = 261. Therefore, the probability is 248/261 or 0.95 or 95%. That means that the likelihood of having a girl baby using this technique is very high.
