Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the total area of the wall to be painted is w.

Then Jason painted an area of  (1/4)w on Monday

And he painted (2)(1/4)w on Tuesday

So to find the unpainted area, we just take the whole wall area to be painted (which is w) and subtract out the amounts painted on Monday and Tuesday, which are shown above.

So the unpainted area (U) would be shown by the following expression:

U = w - (1/4)w - (2)(1/4)w

We can simplify this expression by factoring out w

U = w(1 - 1/4 - 1/2)

U = w (1/4) or w/4

So all Jason needs to do is paint as much of the wall as he did on Monday, and he will be done!

The perimeter of a rectangle is 42 inches, and its area is 110 square inches. find the length and width of the rectangle.
lorasvet [3.4K]
p = 2w + 2l              p = 42 
a = l * w                   a = 108

You want to make either the length or width variable (I chose the width variable to be by itself. It doesn't matter) by itself by:

Divide both sides by 2.
(p) ÷ 2 = (2w + 2l) ÷ 2 
               2's  cancel  out
\frac{p}{2} = w + l

Subtract both sides by either length or width depending on what variable you chose to make by itself (in this case I subtracted the length variable because I wanted the width variable by itself).
\frac{p}{2} - l = w + l - l
                 l's  cancel  out 
p/2 - l = w

a = l * w

You replace w with the equation above p/2 - l = w 
a = l( \frac{p}{2} - l)

Multiply out the L.
a = \frac{p}{2}l - l^{2}

Plug in all your numbers a = 110 and p = 42
110 = \frac{42}{2}l - l^{2}
110 = 21l - l^{2

Move everything to the left side so l^{2} would be positive (makes the equation easier when l^{2} is positive).
l^{2} - 21l + 110 = 0

Factor.
(l -10)(l-11) = 0

Make each parenthesis set equal to 0.
l-11=0     l-10=0

Add.
l = 11  l = 10

By doing this you solve for both the width and length so the answer is:
w = 11    L = 10
