The width of an extra large rectangle poster is 8 inches more than half its length.The area of this poster is 306 square inches
maria [59]

Answer:

a² + 16a - 612 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question :

The width of an extra large rectangle poster is 8 inches more than half its length. The area of this poster is 306 square inches

Write an equation in one variable that could be used to find the number of inches in the dimensions of this poster.

Area of a rectangle = length x width

Let length = a

width = 8 + 1/2a

Area =  (8 + 1/2a) x a

306 =  (8 + 1/2a) x a

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

612 = 16a + a²

a² + 16a - 612 = 0

the dimensions of the poster can be determined using quadratic formula

In 1980, Ric was twice as old as Nancy who was as old as Manual. In 1992, Ric, Nancy and Manual’s ages added up to 78 years. How
myrzilka [38]
He was 21 in 1980,
There are twelve years in between them all so you subtract 36 from 78 and since he was double as old as Nancy, and Manual was the same age as her, you would divide 42 into two parts, Ric and the 10.5 year olds, and Ric would be 21 in 1980.
