Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
new length=15+x
width=19+x
then area=(15+x)×(19+x)=285+15x+19x+x²=x²+34x+285 ft²
original area=15×19=285 ft²
then 285+98=x²+34x+285
or
x²+34x-98=0
x²+34x+17²=98+17²
(x+17)²=98+289=387
x+17=√387=3√43
x=3√43-17 ft
Hi! I'm Jenny and I'm a mathematician! I'd love to help you with this problem! :)
Lets get started...
I'll write the equation out for you!
x + x(xx)
Put the value of x = 2 in the above expression we get,
2 + 2(22)
= 2 + 2(2 × 2)
= 2 + 2(4)
= 2 + 8
= 10
the bag of rice weighs 4.5 pounds
Multiply 4.5 with 16 oz (as 1 lb = 16 oz)
4.5 x 16 = 72.
The bag of rice has 72 oz of rice inside.
The recipe only needs 60 oz of rice ∴ True, you will have enough, with 12 oz left over.
hope this helps
