Answer:

The length of a rectangle is 7 inches longer than it is wide. If the area is 170 square inches, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answer by Cromlix(4381)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

x = width x + 7 = length

x(x+7) = 170

x^2 + 7x - 170 = 0

(x + 17)( x - 10)

Therefore x = 10 as x = -17 no answer.

Width = 10 inches

Length = 17 inches

Alla [95]

Answer:

<em>The probability  that a randomly selected government worker witnessed a violation of ethical standards, policies or laws in the past year but did not report it is </em><em>0.3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcome of the Washington- based nonprofit research group are that -

  • P (60)  -60% of government workers acknowledge witnessing violations of ethical standards, policies, or laws in the past year;
  • P (40%) - of which went unreported.
  • P (10) - An additional 10% of government workers acknowledged making false reports of violations of ethical standards, policies or laws when they did not actually occur.

∴ P(60%) + P(10%) =  P(70) which is Probability of those that are involved in one form of violations or the other.

Therefore, P(100%) - P(70%) = 30%

P( Not committed and withnessed any violations of ethical standards, policie or law) = 30%/100%

<em>= 0.3</em>

Geometry problem please help!
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the midsegment XW is half the sum of the parallel bases , that is

7x + 10 = \frac{1}{2} (46 + 16 ) = \frac{1}{2} × 62 = 31 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

7x = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 3
