Our equation for the area of a rectangle is l x w = A (length times width equals area)
We know that l=w+20 so we can plug this into our equation.
It is now, (w+20) x w =800
We can then solve for w
w^2 +20w =800
We can subtract 800 on each side to get
w^2 +20w - 800 =0
We then factor to get
(w-20)(w+40)=0
This gives us w =20 and w = -40
Width cannot be negative so our width will be 20 feet
Since our length is 20 more than this, then our length will be 40feet
So the dimensions of the rectangle are 20 ft wide by 40 ft long

The Ipad that Ms. Hopham would like to buy for research is $1,299. This week it is on sale for $990, and the sales tax is 6%. Ho
Firdavs [7]

Turn the percentage into a decimal.

6% = 0.06

Multiply.

990 * 0.06 = $54.9 (sales tax)

Add.

990 + 54.9 = $1,049.40 (total price)

Best of Luck!

16^3x+8^x+6<br><br>Could you please give me the steps as well for this problem? ​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

16^{3x} = 8^{x+6} \\2^{4(3x)} = 2^{3(x+6)} --> (16 = 2^{4} and 8 = 2^{3} )

2^{12x} = 2^{3x+18}

Since the base number is 2, the exponents must equal each other.

So:

12x = 3x+18

9x = 18

x = 2
