the length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than twice its width. The area of the rectangle is 70. Find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  The width is 7 meters. The length is 10 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:   Area = Length × width

Length is 2w - 4  

Substitute that value for length, then solve for w.

70 = w(2w - 4)

70 = 2w² - 4w  reorganize to quadratic equation form

2w² - 4w -70 = 0   These are All even numbers; factor out 2 (divide all by 2)

w² - 2w - 35 = 0  factor this

(w - 7)(w + 5)    set each factor = 0 and calculate the value of w.

w+5=0  w= -5  (disregard this one because dimensions of real rectangles can't be negative)

w - 7 = 0  w = 7   The width is 7

Substitute into the original expressions to get the value of Length.

2(7) -4 = L    14 - 4 = L  The Length is 10.

Check by substituting into the original equation:

w × 2w -4 = 70

7 × 2(7) -4 = 70

7 × 10 = 70    TRUE!

w

Answer 2

Dimensions of the rectangle are length=10 meter and width= 7 meter

What is Rectangle?

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.

Given,

The length of a rectangle is 4 meter less than twice its width

Consider,

l is the length of the rectangle

w is the width of the rectangle

l=2w-4

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

70=l × w

Substitute the value of l is the second equation

70=(2w-4)×w

[tex]2w^{2} -4w=70\\2w^{2} -4w-70=0[/tex]

Take 2 outside

[tex]2(w^{2}-2w-35)=0\\ w^{2} -2w-35=0\\(w+5)(w-7)=0[/tex]

w=7,-5

Hence w wont be negative value

Therefore w=7 meter

Then,

l×w=70

[tex]l=\frac{70}{7}\\[/tex]

l=10 meter

Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are length=10 meter and width= 7 meter

because you are trying to find the value of 40% of the price (100 has been marked down by 60 to give 40 100-60=40) so you can just do 47.25x0.4= 18.9. so your answer is $18.90

ANSWER:

$18.90

EXPLAINATION:

To solve, the key word here is "marked down". This means that it is going down by 60%. Subtract 100%-60% which is 40%. Now, always remember that 1% = 0.01. SO 40% will be 0.4.

Multiply 47.25x0.4 = answer

A customer at a store paid $42 for 4 pairs of pants and 3 shirts. At the same store, a second customer paid $2 more for 1 pair of pants and 7 shirts. The price of each pair of pants is the same, and the price of each shirt is the same. Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each pair of pants, x, and each shirt, y?

Answers

Answer:

The system of Equations:

4x + 3y = 42

x + 7y = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price in dollars of

each pair of pants = x

each shirt = y

A customer at a store paid $42 for 4 pairs of pants and 3 shirts.

Hence:

4 × x + 3 × y = $42

4x + 3y = 42

At the same store, a second customer paid $2 more for 1 pair of pants and 7 shirts.

This means he, paid $42 +$2 = $44

Hence:

1 × x + 7 × y = 44

x + 7y = 44

The system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each pair of pants, x, and each shirt, y is

4x + 3y = 42.... Equation 1

x + 7y = 44..... Equation 2

IM Commentary

The purpose of this task is to help students

Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left (5.NBT.1)

By setting the task in the context of weighing objects and bundles of 10, 100, and 1,000 objects, it helps students visualize that bundling 10 units of a given place value will create 1 unit of the next highest place value. For example, taking 10 of an item that weighs 4.2 grams will result in 42 grams because it is 10 groups of 4 grams that weights 40 grams all together, and 10 groups of 0.2 grams that weigh 2 grams all together. The task allows students to explore both the structure of our place value system and how we use that to efficiently multiply and divide powers of 10.

Though this task is written as questions to be discussed or answered by students, the parts of this task are most valuable as a set of scenarios to be infused throughout a unit on place value. The teacher can actually bring in a digital scale and go through a series of explorations with students. It might be natural to start with students weighing one object and making predictions about how much 10 or 100 of these objects would weigh. From there, the teacher may want to have students start weighing sets of 10 or 100 objects and work backwards to think about the weight of 1 object.

The digital scale has several advantages: the weight will always appear in decimal form, thereby making it perfect for students to start reasoning about shifts in decimal place value from a more intuitive place. Moreover, the digital scale will not always show the expected answer. For example, something that weighs 3.5 grams alone might weigh 35.4 grams (rather than 35 grams) when taken as a group of 10. This slight difference provides an excellent opportunity to talk about rounding error. It also requires students to think beyond the rules of sliding a decimal point to the right when multiplying by powers of 10.

If students were still developing the rules for multiplying and dividing by powers of 10, this task would also incorporate MP8, Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. It also incorporates parts of MP6, Attend to precision, in that a higher-level discussion will push students to reason why one marshmallow might weigh 7.2 grams, but 10 marshmallows might weigh 7.19 grams. See the solution for part (a) for further elaboration.

Solution

Solution:

10 marshmallows should weigh 72 grams. Students might use repeated addition, multiplication or reason that each digit’s place value will be multiplied by a factor of 10:

10×(7+0.2)(10×7)+(10×0.2)70+272===

If students have had practice using digital scales in class, some students might respond with guesses that are close such as 73 grams or 72.4 grams because the original 7.2 grams may have been rounded to the nearest tenth. If, for example, the original actual weight were 7.24 grams, then the weight of ten marshmallows on a scale that rounds to the nearest tenth of a gram would be 72.4 grams.

1 jellybean should weigh 1.2 grams. Students may come to the solution a number of ways.

Students might notice that dividing 12 by 10 could be expressed in fraction form 1210. Students might further reason that

1210=1010+210

or 1.2.

Students might alternately reason that 12÷10 is the same as

(10÷10)+(2÷10)=1+0.2=1.2

Students might also use the rule that they are beginning to develop about sliding the decimal point one place to the left to divide by 10.

1,000 pink erasers should weigh about 31,240 grams. Students may come to the solution a number of ways:

A student might reason that first, it would be necessary to find out what 100 erasers would weigh by multiplying by a factor of 10 and then further multiplying by another factor of 10 to find out what 1,000 erasers would weigh. This is represented by

312.4×10×10

In this solution method, the student reasoned that multiplying by a factor of 10 and then another factor of 10 would be the same as multiplying by a factor of 100:

312.4×10×10312.4×100100×(300+10+2+0.4)30,000+1,000+200+4031,240====

Another student might want to find the weight of a single eraser. If 10 erasers weigh 312.4 grams, then one eraser must weigh 31.24 grams. From there the student could multiply the weight of one eraser by a factor of 1,000:

1000×(30+1+0.22+0.04)30,000+1,000+200+4031,240==

Step-by-step explanation:

You would expect 1,000 pink erasers to weigh 31,240 grams.

If 10 erasers weigh 312.4 grams, and to get 1,000 you multiply by 100, if you multiply 312.4 by 100 you get 31240.

Or if you use rates

[tex]\frac{312.4}{10} =\frac{31240}{1000}[/tex]

(when you multiply by 100)
