Area = length x width
Area = 21 square cm
Width = x
Length = 3x + 2
21 = 3x+ 2 * x
21 = 3x ^2 + 2x
Subtract 21 from both sides:
3x^2 + 2x -21 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
-2 +/- sqrt(2^2-4*3(-21))/(2*3)
X = 7/3 and -3
A dimension can’t be a negative value so x needs to be 7/3
Width = x = 7/3 = 2 1/3 cm
Length = 3(7/3) + 2 = 9 cm
Check: 9 x 2 1/3 = 21
Dimensions: width 2 1/3 cm length 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:
since they gave the point (0,0) and slope 3
y=mx+b
0=3(0)+b
b=0
y=3x and then substitute
Answer:
$50.08
Step-by-step explanation:
We use x to represent the price of the cheapest hat. Since the more expensive hat is twice the price of the cheaper one, we use 2x to represent it. Therefore x + 2x, or 3x, equals $75.12. Divide 75.12 by 3 to find x, which is 25.04. The more expensive hat is 2x, so we must multiply 25.04 by 2 to find the price of the more expensive hat.
