Answer:
2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the uniform amount added to each side
we know that
The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

solve for x
Apply distributive property

solve the quadratic c equation
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem we have
so
substitute in the formula
therefore
The solution is x=2 ft
1/3 + 5 + 1/2 = total money he had originally
to add fraction we should first find a common denominator for every term.
1/3 + 10/2 + 1/2 = total
1/3 + 11/2 = total
2/6 + 33/6 = total
35/6 = total
Answer:
88 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
11ft times 8ft equals 88 ft. Its the same so the area is 88 ft.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of rows in Vanessa's garden is x
Then x/2 + 6 = 8
so x/2 = 8 - 6 = 2
so x = 4
X= width
length= 3x-7
Area: (x)(3x-7)=40
= 3x^2-7x=40
= 3x^2-7x-40=0
Factorise the equation: (3x+8)(x-5)=0
x=-8/3 (reject because width cannot be negative) or x=5
so width is 5cm and length is 3(5)-7= 8cm !
