The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
Answer: 15 ft
I can't figure out a factor for this but graphing it shows x = -2 and +1 as real roots.
Answer: The answer is –3x+10=5x–8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Lenayah's presentation was 12 minutes long.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Set up a proportion. 2/3 = 8/x.
- Cross multiply. 2x = 24
- Divide both sides by 2. x =12
