Width of the rectangle is 9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units
Area of the rectangle = length × width
54 = x (x - 3)
54 = x² - 3x
x² - 3x - 54 = 0
x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)
x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0
(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0
x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)
x = 9 units
13/200 is the simplest form
Answer:
492.99
Step-by-step explanation: x = amount invested at 12%
y = amount invested at 9%
---
x + y = 20287
0.12x = 0.09y + 492.99
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 20287
0.12x - 0.09y = 492.99
So,
Home ---- gym = 3.6 mi.
gym ---- store = .7 mi.
store ----- home = x
3.6 + .7 + x = 7.2 mi.
Collect Like Terms
4.3 + x = 7.2
Subtract 4.3 from both sides
x = 2.9
The distance from the store to her home is 2.9 miles.
