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

What are the solution
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get two equations from the inequality:

3x+2>9\\3x+2>-9

We just need to simplify both equations to get our answers:

3x+2>9\\3x>7\\x>\frac{7}{3}

3x+2>-9\\3x>-11\\x>\frac{-11}{3}

The two answers we get are:

x\frac{7}{3}

Which is also B.

PLEASE HELP I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO MY MATH PROJECT THAT'S DUE IN AN HOUR
adelina 88 [10]
1. You will need 3 packs of tulips and 2 packs of geraniums.
2. You should have 18 flowers of each kind

Explanation:
1. To find the number of packets, the easiest way (in my opinion) would be to find the LCM (least common multiple)
To do so, first, you would need to list the factors of 6 and 9 in order
6: 6 12 18 24 30
9: 9 18 27 36 45

Then, you can find the LCM by finding the same number that comes first in each list (18)

2. To find how many packets, all you have to do is divide 18 by 6 and 18 by 9 because there are 6 flowers in one packet, and 9 flowers in the other.


Hope this helps!

Write a quadratic equation in standard form that has two solutions, 6 and - 8
Allisa [31]
We want an equation which equals
0
at the given points
6
and
−
10
.
Our quadratic equation should be a product of expressions which are zero at the specified roots.
Consider
(
x
−
6
)
⋅
(
x
+
10
)
=
0
This equality holds if
x
=
6
since
(
6
−
6
)
⋅
(
6
+
10
)
=
0
⋅
16
=
0

And the equality holds if
x
=
−
10
since
(
−
10
−
6
)
⋅
(
−
10
+
10
)
=
−
16
⋅
0
=
0
Expanding this equation by the FOIL method, we get:
x
2
+
10
x
−
6
x
−
60
Combining like terms, we find our solution:
