A rectangle is a quadrilateral and its area is expressed as the product of its length and width. From the given, we have:
Length = x + 2
Width = 2x - 5
Area = 54 cm^2
Area = Length x Width
Substituting the values,
Area = (x + 2) ( 2x-5) = 54
54 = 2x^2 - x - 10
2x^2 - x - 64 = 0
We can see that the equation above is a polynomial with a degree of 2 therefore we can usethe Quadratic Formula to solve for x. The quadratic formula will solve two values of x.
x1 = (-b + (√b^2 - (4ac))/ 2a = 5.91
x2 = <span>(-b - (√b^2 - (4ac))/ 2a = -5.41
Since, for this case, the value x should not result to a negative value for both dimensions thus x is equal to 5.91.</span>
The answer is 42.5 because you divide 1700 and 40
Answer:
444,444
Step-by-step explanation:
total amount=737373
jerry=292929
Brandon=unknown
To figure the amount of video games Brandon has, we have to subtract the amount of both he and his friend altogether amount with Jerry's current amount of video games.
737,373-292,929=444,444
So, by subtracting the two, the answer would be 444,444.
Brandons total amount of video games:444,444
We first write the fractions in their decimal forms and find out the ratio.
2 1/4 is equivalent to 2.25, and 1 1/3 is equivalent to 1.33
Ratio will be 2.25 / 1.33 = 1.69 or 1.7 rounded off. Since it cannot be simplified further, then the ratio of mulch to gravel will be 1.7: 1
Quantity of mulch sold → 1.7/2.7 of 172 →0.629 ×172 = 108.2 pounds
Quantity of gravel sold will be 172 -108. 2 = 63 .8 pounds
