Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
11 = 14+x+7+x
11=2x+21
2x=11-21=-10
X= -5
1.
He fills 5/6 lb per bag.
If he fills up 6 bags, he will use 6 * 5/6 lb = 5 lb.
Since he gets peanuts in 2-lb bags, he'd use 2 1/2 2-lb bags.
If he fills double that amount, 10 5/6-lb bags, he will use 10 lb of peanuts which is exactly 5 2-lb bags.
Answer: He should buy 5 2-lb bags.
2.
Each board has length x.
He cuts 3/5 of the length.
Each leftover piece is 2/5 of the length, or 2/5 x.
When he puts together several of the leftover pieces, he has 4 times the length of the original board, or 4x.
4x/(2/5 x) = 4x * 5/2 x = 10x
He has cut 10 boards.
2 pairs of congruent sides
Answer:
Let l be length and w be the width
l = 2w+12
Area = (2w+12)*w = 224
2w^2 + 12w - 224 = 0
w^2 + 6w - 112 = 0
using quadratic formula
w=[ -6 +- {36- 4*1*(-112)}^0.5]/2*1
w = [-6 +- {484}^0.5]/2
w = [-6 +- {22}]/2
w = 16/2 or -28/2
w = either 8 or -14
Width can not be a negative number
wI’d think= 8 ft
length = 2*8+12 = 28 ft
