Answer:
Width=10
Length=18
Step-by-step explanation:
The length is 2 feet less then twice the width
Let the width be x.
Then the length is 2x -2 based on the given information. Use this to make an equation since it is known that the area is 180feet squared.
x(2x-2)=180
2x^2 - 2x - 180 = 0
2( x^2 - x - 90) = 0
We now have a factorable quadratic.
2(x+9)(x-10)=0
So by zero product property, x=-9, x=10 Since a measure cannot be negative, -9 is an extraneous solution.
So x=10
Then the width is 10 and the length is 18
Hope this helps! Let me know if it is correct!
I’m sorry I’m wasting an answer but I’m having some technical issues with Brainly so I will try answering a question to see if it works
Answer:
1. -3 on both side and m=4
2. +2 on both side and k=10
3. divide 3 on both side and n=6
The ratio of the trout with tags that are caught and the total trout with tags is first calculated.
r = 12 trout / 180 trout = 1/15
Then, we divide the number of trouts caught without tag by the value obtained above.
N = (48 - 12) / (1/15) = 540
Then, we add the number obtained above and 180.
T = 540 + 180 = 720
ANSWER: 720
