A rectangle has a length of 14 yards less than 9 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 6183 square yards, find the le
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

 l=238\ yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Area of Rectangle A=6183

Equation of Length

 l=9w-14

Where

w=width\ of\ triangle

Generally the equation for Area of Rectangle is mathematically given by

 A=(9w-14)w

 A=9w^2-14w

 6183=9w^2-14w

 9w^2-14w-6183=0

 w=28

Therefore

 l=9(28)-14

 l=238\ yards

Explain how to find simple interest
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Simple interest is calculated by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal, by the number of days that elapse between payments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal x rate x time = interest.

$100 x .05 x 1 = $5 simple interest for one year.

$100 x .05 x 3 = $15 simple interest for three years.

If the number of adult tickets are taken as x then the number of children’s tickets can be taken as (89 — x ) then we can set up the equation

4.10(x) + 2.70 (89 — x) = 331.30
4.10x + 240.3 — 2.70x = 331.30
1.4x = 331.30 — 240.30
1.4x = 91
X = 65

Therefore 65 adult tickets and 24 children tickets as 89 — 65 is 24
