Now the width is w.
It's twice as long as wide, so now the length is 2w.
If the length is increased by 4 cm, the length will be 2w + 4.
The width is decreased by 3 cm, so the width will be w - 3.
The are of the new rectangle is 100 cm^2.
area = length * width
area = (2w + 4)(w - 3)
The area of the new rectangle is 100, so we get
(2w + 4)((w - 3) = 100
2w^2 - 6w + 4w - 12 = 100
2w^2 - 2w - 112 = 0
w^2 - w - 56 = 0
(w - 8)(w + 7) = 0
w - 8 = 0 or w + 7 = 0
w = 8 or w = -7
A width cannot be negative, so discard w = -7.
w = 8
The width is 8 cm.
The length is twice the width, so the length is 16 cm.
Answer:
The answer is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
I had the question on one of my quizzes.
Answer:
D is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Not all rectangles are squares.
7/3 written as a mixed fraction is 2 1/3
So
7/3 = 2 1/3
A. Independent variable: number of rubber stamps n sold. Dependent variable: F(n), the total sales.
B. Only whole numbers. It is impossible to have negative and/or fractional stamps.
C. F(n) = $4.95n, which is 4.95 times n.
So, plugin 5 for n
F(n) = $24.75
