Step-by-step explanation:
length = width + 4
length×width = 77
using the first in the second equation
(width + 4)×width = 77
width² + 4width = 77
now, what square or squaring factors can create this ?
we are looking for (width + a)(width + b).
we know, this is
width² + (a+b)width + ab
so, what a, b can create 4 (the factor in our actual equation) ?
1, 3 and 2, 2, if we are only looking at whole numbers.
and which of the possibilities can we use to turn 77 into a square number ?
81 is only 4 away ...
2+2 = 4.
aha !
so, we can actually say our equation is
width² + 4width + 4 = 77 + 4
and then
(width + 2)² = 81
width + 2 = 9
width = 7 m
length = width + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 m

<h3>
Answer: $44.10</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
5% = 5/100 = 0.05
5% of 42 = 0.05*42 = 2.10
tax = $2.10
total cost including tax = $42 + $2.10 = $44.10
----------
An alternative is to multiply 42 by 1.05 to get
1.05*42 = 44.10
We get the same answer. The 1.05 refers to 1 + 0.05 where the "1" is 100% and the 0.05 is 5%, so the two combine to 105%, meaning the total cost is 105% of the cost before tax is considered.
Answer:
n = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Two intersecting chords. The product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is
7(n + 4) = 5(n + 8) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
7n + 28 = 5n + 40 ( subtract 5n from both sides )
2n + 28 = 40 ( subtract 28 from both sides )
2n = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
n = 6
