20=x+10
x=10 would be your answer
I think he went wrong in step 3 ur welcome
The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
Answer: 15 ft
Answer:
6 is 24% of 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Ralph chase invested $85000 at an interest of 10% and $70000 at an interest of 8%
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
An independent variable is a variable that does not depends on other variable while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variable.
Let a represent the amount invested at interest of 10% and b represent the amount invested at 8%, hence:
a + b = 155000 (1)
Also:
0.1a + 0.08b = 14100 (2)
From both equations:
a = 85000, b = 70000
Ralph chase invested $85000 at an interest of 10% and $70000 at an interest of 8%
