Answer:
We need some form of question other then Determine the value of X.... or equation
First write the inequality: 15

4.75x +3.50
Then to solve, first subtract 3.50 from both sides to get:
11.50

4.75x
Then divide by 4.75 to get 2.42, and since you can't buy .42 of a bag of fruit, you round down. So your final answer would be 2 bags of fruit.
If you let x represent the width of the rectangle, then you can write the equation for area as
.. x(2x +5) -63 = 0
This has positive solution x=4.5.
The rectangle is 4.5 meters by 14 meters.
Answer:
3%
Step-by-step explanation:
105 = 700 x r x 5
r = 105 / ( 700 × 5 ) = 0.03
r = 0.03
0.03 in percent is 3%
You can write two equations using the given information:
.. L = W +8
.. L * W = 609
Using substitution, you get a quadratic.
.. (W +8) * W = 609
.. W^2 +8W -609 = 0
Not surprisingly, you're looking for factors of 609 that differ by 8.
.. 609 = 1*609 = 3*203 = 7*87 = 21*29
The last two are the factors of interest.
.. (W +29)(W -21) = 0
The width of the rectangle is 21 feet, the length is 29 feet.
_____
Sometimes it is easier to work with the average dimension. Here, let that be x. Then you have
.. (x +4)(x -4) = 609
.. x^2 -16 = 609
.. x^2 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . . . . one of your memorized math facts
So, the dimensions are
.. 25 +4 = 29 by 25 -4 = 21, that is, 29 ft by 21 ft.
