Answer:

x = 4.85 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Original area of the petting farm = 10 × 14

= 140 square feet

.

New area = double the original area = 140 * 2

= 280 square feet

New area of the petting farm =

Width × length

280 = (10+x) × (14+x)

280 = 140 + 10x + 14x + x²

280 - 140 = x² + 24x

140 = x² + 24x

x² + 24x - 140 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= -24 ± √(24)² - 4*1*-140 / 2*1

= -24 ± √ 576 - (-560) / 2

= -24 ± √ 576 + 560 / 2

= -24 ± √1,136 / 2

= -24 ± 4√71 / 2

= -24/2 ± 4√71/2

= -12 ± 2√71

x = 4.8523 or x = -28.8583

x can not be a negative value

Therefore,

x = 4.85 feet to the nearest hundredth

jeka94

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Evan had 120 baseball cards. He gave 18 of them to his friend and the rest to his brother.

The number of baseball cards he gave to his brother is :

120 - 18 = 102 baseball cards

The percent of the baseball cards he gave to his brother is calculated as:

(Number of baseball cards given to his brother/ Total number of baseball cards) × 100

= 102/120 × 100

= 85%

The percent of baseball cards Evans gave his brother is 85%
