Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A = L * W
A = 22
L = 2x + 1
W = 3x + 1
now we sub
22 = (2x + 1)(3x + 1)
22 = 6x^2 + 2x + 3x + 1
22 = 6x^2 + 5x + 1
6x^2 + 5x + 1 - 22 = 0
6x^2 + 5x - 21 = 0 <======part A
(3x + 7)(2x - 3) = 0
3x + 7 = 0 2x - 3 = 0
3x = -7 2x = 3
x = -7/3 x = 3/2
I believe that x = -7/3 is an extraneous solution because when u plug it into ur length and width u get a negative number....and I dont think the sides of ur rectangle have negative values, however, it does work in ur equation and it equals 22 when multiplied...so I am not 100% sure
length = 2x + 1.......2(3/2) + 1........3 + 1 = 4
width = 3x + 1......3(3/2) + 1......9/2 + 1......9/2 + 2/2 = 11/2 (or 5.5) meters <===
It is always because if you have an improper fraction, the larger number is always the numerator. To get a reciprocal, you flip the fraction so that the denominator is the numerator, and vice versa. If the numerator is always bigger, and you make it the denominator, it would be proper.
Answer:
$6000
Step-by-step explanation:
so basically, 25% of the 100% value is gone, right? which means that 75% of the value would remain. After that, all is easy. 8000*0.75, since 75% is 0.75, and the answer of that is 6000, so the current value is 6000 dollars.
One way you could solve this is to just multiply the top and bottom out so that you get 9/81, reducing it by 9/9 to get 1/9 or option C.
Another way would be to do
since dividing numbers with exponents would be subtracting the bottom exponent from the top exponent, provided that the base number (in this case 3) is the same for both. For this method, you would get
, which is equal to 1/9 or .1 repeating, the same answer that you'd get with the first method.
