Since width is the smaller value, set width=x. That wold mean that length=x+3. Since Area=width*length, 40=x(3+x). Distribute the x to give you 40=3x+x^2. Set the equation equal to 0 giving you x^2+3x-40=0. Factor the equation to give you (x+8)(x-5)=0. Set each factor equal to 0. x+8=0 gives you x=-8 & x=-5 gives you x=5. Since we're working with lengths of objects, it can't be negative. Therefore, your width is 5. To find length, substitute width into the original expression (x+3). Therefore, length is 5+3=8.
The answer is 28
30 minutes is half of an hour so you have to divide 7 by 2 which is 3.5 and then multiply 3.5 by 8 to get 28
ANSWER: $84
EXPLANATION:
We need to know the surface area of the room with the specified dimensions.
A = 2(wl + hl + hw)
w = 12
h = 8
l = 16
A = 2( (12 * 16) + (8 * 16) + (12 * 8) )
A = 2(192 + 128 + 96)
A = 2(416)
A = 832 square feet
832 / 150 = 5.546666666666667
(Round that up to the next whole number)
You need 6 gallons, or 6(14) dollars
90% of what is 63....
0.90x = 63
x = 63 / 0.90
x = 70....so 70 ppl work at stalling printing
Given that the two swimmers competed and Ursula's speed is 60 m/min while Andre's speed is 48 m/min. The distance that the Ursula will catch up with Andre will be:
distance=(relative speed)×(time)
relative speed=60-48=12 m/min
the two swimmers met at a distance of:
12×1
=12 meters
