Answer:

  6.5 ft wide by 8 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is ...

  L = 2x -5

and the area is ...

  A = LW = (2x -5)(x) = 52

  2x² -5x -52 = 0 . . . . . put in standard form

  (2x -13)(x +4) = 0 . . . . factor

  x = 6.5, -4 . . . . . . . . . . values that make the factors zero

The length is then ...

  L = A/W = 52/6.5 = 8

or

  L = 2W -5 = 2(6.5) -5 = 13 -5 = 8

The rectangle is 6.5 feet wide and 8 feet long.

Help me with question 4 and 5
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

2.6768·10^(-14)  (Answer C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 4:  We ADD the powers of 10:  10^6·10^(-3) = 10^3.  Also, 3.6·1.7 = 6.12.  Therefore, Answer D is correct.

Problem 5:  Again we ADD (combine) the powers of 10:  10^(-10)·10^(-5) =

10^(-15).  4.78·5.6 = 26.768.  Our intermediary answer is thus:

26.768·10^(-15).  This must be rewritten in the form x.xxxx, so here we have:

2.6768·10^(-14)  (Answer C)
