Answer:

About 71% of the books were mystery books

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of something you simply divide the amounts. 17 of the 24 books were mystery so to find the percentage of mystery books you do 17 divided by 24

17/24= 0.70833333333

and round it to 71

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than twice its width. The are of a rectangle is 70m^2. Find the dimensions of the rec
igomit [66]

Answer:

The length is 7 m

The width is 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

length = x

width = 2x - 4

length * width = area

It is given that the area is 70 m^{2}

From there

x * (2x - 4) = 70

2x^{2} - 4x = 70

2x^{2} - 4x - 70 = 0

x^{2} - 2x - 35 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation, which is  ax^{2} + bx + c = 0, where a \neq 0

In this equation a = 1, b = -2 and c = -35

Discriminant (D) formula is b² - 4ac

D = -2^{2}  - 4 * 1 * (-35) = 144 > 0

This discriminant is more than 0, so there are two possible x

Their formulas are  \frac{- b - \sqrt{D}  }{2a} and \frac{- b + \sqrt{D}  }{2a}

x_{1} =  \frac{- (-2) - \sqrt{144} }{2} = -5 < 0 (the length of the rectangle has to be more than 0, so we don't use this x)

x_{2} = \frac{- (-2) + \sqrt{144} }{2} = 7 > 0 (this one is right)

Calculating the dimensions

length = x = 7 (m)

width = 2x - 4 = 2 * 7 - 4 = 10 (m)
