Write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 ft 22 ft
------- = -----------
h 99 ft
This is appropriate because h is greater than 9 ft.
cross-multiplying, we get
9(99) ft^2 = 22*h*ft
Then h =40.5 ft (which is the height of the building)
Answer:
7x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 7
5x + 2x = 7x
7x + 7
Let the two parts with equal length have length x.
The longer part has length x + 20.
The sum of the three lengths is 695 m.
x + x + x + 20 = 695
3x + 20 = 695
3x = 675
x = 225
x + 20 = 245
The two short parts measure 225 m, and the long part measures 245 m.
Answer: An equation may have more than one solution, or the solution(s) may be complex, rather than real, but it will always have one solution - and sometimes more than one.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Area = L * w
w = x
l = x + 4
Area = 32
Solution
32 = x(x + 4)
32 = x^2 + 4x
x^2 + 4x - 32
(x + 8)(x - 4)
Only x - 4 is going to make any sense
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
The width is 4
The length is 4 + 4 = 8
4*8 = 32 which is the area.
