Answer:

Each dimension increased by 3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the original rectangle = 4 * 6 = 24 square feet

Increased dimension = x ft

New length = 6 + x

New width = 4 +x

New area = (6 + x)(4 +x)    {Use FOIL method}

                = 6*4 + 6*x + x*4 + x*x

                = 24 + 6x + 4x + x²

                = x² + 10x + 24

New area = 24 + 39

x² + 10x + 24 = 63

x² +10x + 24 - 63 = 0

x² + 10x  - 39 = 0

x² + 13x - 3x  - 3*13 = 0

x (x + 13) - 3(x + 13) = 0

(x + 13)(x -3) = 0   {Ignore x + 13, as it gives negative value}

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

What is the value of y, I think this is missing to figure out the final answer.

But once y is known you will use the xy/z gormils. Multiply -2 and y value. Then divide that by 4.

Chase goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $11.90. A sales tax of 9% was added on. Chase tipped 17% on the amoun
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

$15.17

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the value for the sales tax:

11.90 \times  \frac{9}{100 }  = 1.07

we then add the value for the sales tax ($1.07) to the initial bill:

11.90 + 1.07 = 12.97

We were instructed to calculate the tip after the sales tax was added so:

12.97 \times  \frac{17}{100}  = 2.20

after we will add the value for the tip to the value that we have for the bill ( this is the new value that includes the sales tax) to find the total cost:

12.97+ 2.20  = 15.17

<em>Therefore</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>cost</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>his</em><em> </em><em>mean</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>$</em><em>15.17</em>
