Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Answer:
Robert
Step-by-step explanation:
If Robert runs 3 miles in 45 minutes, by the end of 90minutes, Robert would have covered 6miles, while Jacob covered 5miles in 90 minutes, therefore, Robert ran faster than Jacob.
proportional because 1*5/3*5=5/15
Answer:
A = x^2 + 5x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
A = L × W
A = (x+7) × (x-2)
A = x^2 + 7x - 2x - 14
