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

Draw one card at random from a standard deck of cards. the sample space s is the collection of the 52 cards. assume that the pro
nikklg [1K]
The probability is a ratio of the possible events to the total events. The total is 52 cards, so the denominator is 52. The individual properties of the specific cards are the following:

Any face or number cards is 4/52, because there are 4 cards for each symbol. On the other hand, each symbol like heart, diamond, club or spade would each have a probability of 13/52 (counting numbers 2 to 10, Ace card, and the 3 face cards). Also, there are 26 each of red and black cards. Furthermore, the words 'or' and 'and' are hint words. When you see 'or', you have to add their individual probabilities. If you see the word 'and', you'll have to multiply them. With that said, the solution is as follows:

a.) P = 4/52 + 4/52 + 4/52 = 3/13
b.) P = (13/52 + 13/52 + 4/52)(26/52) = 15/52
c.) P = 13/52
d.) P = 13/52 + 13/52 + 13/52 = 3/4

Answer:

3 x (3 x - 5) (3 x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

27 x^3 - 75 x

Factor 3 x out of 27 x^3 - 75 x:

3 x (9 x^2 - 25)

9 x^2 - 25 = (3 x)^2 - 5^2:

3 x (3 x)^2 - 5^2

Factor the difference of two squares. (3 x)^2 - 5^2 = (3 x - 5) (3 x + 5):

Answer: 3 x (3 x - 5) (3 x + 5)

Andre tried to solve the equation 1/4(x+12)=2 what was his mistake?
GarryVolchara [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1/4(x + 12)=2 - first isolate X'

         - 12 -12

2. 1/4(x) = -10  - 1/4  since its a fraction, you'll have to subtract not divide

-1/4    - 1/4

3. x = -10.25

Andre did the first step correctly, but on the second step he just divided 1.4 by -10, instead of subtract 1/4 from both sides.
