The length of a rectangle is 2 units more than the width. The area of the rectangle is 63 units. What is the length, in units, o

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Length = 9units

Width = 7units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that the length is 2units more than the width

Assume that the width is x, then the length will be 2 + x

ie

Width = x

Length = 2 + x

Area of the rectangle = 63units

Area of rectangle = l * b

l - length of the rectangle

b - width of the rectangle

A = l * b

63 = (2 + x) * x

63 = ( 2 + x) x

63 = 2x + x^2

Let's rearrange it

x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0

Let's find the factor of 63

A factor that can be multiplied to give -63 and that can be added to give +2

Let's use -7 and +9

x^2 - 7x + 9x - 63 = 0

Separate with brackets

( x^2 - 7x) + ( 9x - 63) = 0

x( x - 7) + 9(x - 7) = 0

( x + 9)(x - 7) = 0

( x + 9) = 0

( x - 7) = 0

x + 9 = 0

x = -9

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

Note: the length of a rectangle can not be negative

So therefore,

x = 7

Length = 2 + x

= 2 + 7

= 9units

Width = x

= 7units

Tamara earns 2,050 every month. She spends 65% on the amount that she earns. The rest of the money is equally divided and deposi

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Tamara earns $2,050 each month.

She spends 65% of that, so the amount that she spends is:

S = (65%/100%)*$2,050 = 0.65*$2,050 = $1,332.50

Then the amount that she has left is:

R = $2,050 - $1,332.50 = $717.50

Now she divides that in half, and deposits those amounts in two separate accounts.

She deposits $717.50/2 = $358.75 in each acount.

Then she deposits $358.75 per month, so after x months she has:

x*$358.75 in each of those accounts, so one of the accounts will have more than $2,500 when:

x*$358.75 = $2,500

x = $2,500/$358.75 = 6.96

So after 6.96 moths she will have more than $2,500 in one of her accounts, we can round it to:

After 10 months Tamara has deposited more than 2,500 in one of her accounts.

The population of a town has grown at an annual rate of 2.7%. How long does it take for it’s population of 18,450 people to doub

charle [14.2K]

It would take 26 years.

The equation will be in the form y = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial population, r is the growth rate as a decimal number, and x is the amount of time. Using our information we have

y = 18450(1+0.027)ˣ = 18450(1.027)ˣ

We want the population to be doubled; 18450*2 = 36900:
36900 = 18450(1.027)ˣ

Divide both sides by 18450:
36900/18450 = 18450(1.027)ˣ/18450
2 = 1.027ˣ

Using logarithms, we have
$\log_{1.027}2=x
\\
\\x=26.017$
