Answer:
Length = 16 inches and width = 12inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 192 in² . The width is 4 + 1/2x. therefore let x = length
Area = LW
192 = x(4 + 1/2 x)
192 = 4x + 1/2x²
384 = 8x + x² Multiply each term by 2 to make a
384 + 16 = x² + 8x + 16 Complete the square
400 = (x + 4)²
± 20 = x + 4
20 = x + 4 or -20 = x + 4
20 - 4 = x or -20 - 4 = x
16 = x or -24 = x reject the negative amount
Length = 16
width = 4 + 1/2(16); 4 + 8 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Jan brought 44 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to work backwards. First, we have 10 cookies left at the end of the day. At lunch, she gave away 12 cookies. This means that Ms. Jan had 22 cookies at lunch since
10
+
12
=
22
In the morning, Ms. Jan gave out half of her cookies. This means that she started with twice as many cookies as she had at the beginning of lunch.
22 x 2
=
44
Ms. Jan brought 44 cookies.
Choose your points, go up from the y intercept to a chosen x point. Then go over the the x point. Up and over is the formula I use.
