Length of a rectangle is 7 less than 3 times it’s width. Area is 40cm^2. Find dimensions URGENT

1 answer:

7 0

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 !

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

It is given that the grade(slope) is 4%. This means that for every 100 miles traveled, the elevation changes by 4 miles.

Step 2

Hence for a distance of 12 miles , the elevation changes by 12*4/100 = 48/100 = 0.48 miles. [Using direct proportion]

Answer:

D) She has a total of $62 in the piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny has been saving quarters in a piggy bank since she was born.

She decides to add 56 more quarters so that she can buy a $65 phone.

So she has 192 + 56 = 248 quarters currently.

248 quarters equals;

$\frac{248}{1}$ × $0.25 = $62

So Jenny has a total of $62 in the piggy bank.
