ANSWER

ABOUT THIS TUTOR ›

We know that Area = Length x Width

in this case, L = 2W + 3 and A = 150in2

so, 150in2 = W x (2w + 3)

150in2 = 2W2 + 3W

rearranging, 2W2 + 3W - 150in2 = 0

we need to use the quadratic formula to solve this equation

that formula is [-b±(√b2 -4ac)]/2a

a = 2, b = 3, c = -150

inserting those values, we get [-3±(√32 -4•2•-150)]/2•2

which becomes (-3±√1209)/4

we get (-3 ± 34.771)/4

we can discard the negative value, because no length can be negative

so, W ≅ 7.942 inches

then L = 2W + 3 ≅ 18.886 inches

Proof: 7.942in x 18.886in ≅ 149.99

HOPE IT'S HELPFUL

THANK YOU

If ⅙ of a roll of wallpaper covers ¼ of the wall. How many rolls of paper are needed to cover 4 walls?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

if 1/6 of a roll of paper covers 1/4 of a wall, this means that we will need 4/6 of a roll to cover a whole wall, now the question is asking how many rolls will we need to cover 4 walls, we already know that it takes 4/6 to fill one wall so if we add 4/6+4/6+4/6+4/6 we will get 16/6 or 2 4/6

we will need 16/6 or 2 4/6 of rolls of paper to cover 4 walls
