Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 0.52(x) + 0.72(4) = 0.57(x + 4)
0.52(x) + 0.72(4) = 0.57(x + 4) 
Multiply
0.52x + 2.88 = 0.57x + 2.28 Subtract 0.52x from both sides
2.88 = 0.05x + 2.28 Subtract 2.28 from both sides
0.6 = 0.05x Divide all sides by 0.05
x = 12

I'm going to assume that the room is a rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is A = lw, where l=length of the rectangle and w=width of the rectangle.
You're given that the length, l = (x+5)ft and the width, w = (x+4)ft. You're also told that the area, A = 600 sq. ft. Plug these values into the equation for the area of a rectangle and FOIL to multiply the two factors:
Now subtract 600 from both sides to get a quadratic equation that's equal to zero. That way you can factor the quadratic to find the roots/solutions of your equation. One of the solutions is the value of x that you would use to find the dimensions of the room:
Now you know that x could be -29 or 20. For dimensions, the value of x must give you a positive value for length and width. That means x can only be 20. Plugging x=20 into your equations for the length and width, you get:
Length = x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 ft.
Width = x + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24 ft.
The dimensions of your room are 25ft (length) by 24ft (width).

(x+2)(x+3)
x^2+3x+2x+6
x^2+5x+6
Therefore the coefficient of x^2 is 1
Answer:
54 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Joyce age = x
Alex age = y
3x = 2y - - - (1)
y - 9 = 2(x - 9)
y - 9 = 2x - 18
-9 + 18 = 2x - y
9 = 2x - y
y = 2x - 9 - - (2)
3x = 2y
3x = 2(2x - 9)
3x = 4x - 18
18 = 4x - 3x
18 = x
Hence,
Mrs stone is 3 * 18 = 54 years
Answer:
2044 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
number of cups left = number of cups in the watering can - number of cups remaining
convert the capacity of the watering can to cups
1 quart = 4 cups
512 x 4 = 2048
2048 - 4 = 2044
