The variable t represents the amount of gas in mom's truck. Since we need to find a number that is 50% more than 12, we use 1.5 (we would use 2 if we want 100% more, so it makes sense that we use 1.5, since we want to add 1/2 of 12 to 12. The answer is 18.)

16. Solve z2 – 2z – 35 = 0 using the zero product property.

<span>z2 – 2z – 35 = 0
2z - 2z = 35
0 = 35

What is the width of this shape

77julia77 [94]

We see that the area is 159 3/8 and the length is 18 3/4.

Because the area is the length*width, to find the width, we must divide the area by the length.

Think of it this way:
$A = l*w$

Divide l on both sides:
$\frac{A}{l} = w$

And w is what we're looking for.
So, divide 159 3/8 by 18 3/4.

You should get that the width is 8.5 feet :)
