Aisha wants to make two quilts, each with the same area. The first quilt will be square with sides s feet long. The second quilt

will be a rectangle with a width that is half the length of a side of the square quilt and a length that is 6 feet longer than a side length of the square quilt. Which quadratic equation can be used to find s, the side length of the square quilt? s2 = (s + 6) s2 = (s)(s + 6) s2 = (6s) s2 = (s)(6s)

Answer:

None of the option is true

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given condition , the length of rectangle = s+6 and width = $\frac{s}{2}$

Hence the Area will be $A=\frac{s}{2}*(s+6)$

This area is the same as that of Square, whose area was $s^{2}$

Hence the Area will be

$s^2=\frac{s}{2}*(s+6)$

$2s^2=s(s+6)\\2s^2=s^2+6s\\s^2-6s=0\\s(s-6)=0\\$

s=0 , s=6

I'm pretty sure it should be

s^2=(1/2s)(s+6)

because the width is half of (s) so none of those options are right.

Answer:

Hayden's hourly rate is $30

Extra hour rate is 1.5×30=$45

given that he earned $2175 by working 40 regular hours, the number of overtime hours he worked will be given as follows;

let the number of overtime be x

hence total amount earned will be:

(40×30)+(45×x)=2175

1200+45x=2175

45x=2175-1200

45x=975

solving for x we get

x=975/45

x=65/3=21 2/3 hours

Therefore the answer is c.562.50

Answer:

$Sum = -81$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

$c = 36$ ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

$x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

$x = -\alpha$ and $x = -\beta$

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

$(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

To compare the above equation to $x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$ , we have:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

$\alpha \beta = 36$

Where: $\alpha, \beta$ and $\alpha \ne \beta$

The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ that satisfy $\alpha \beta = 36$ are:

$\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

So, the possible values of a are:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

When $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$a = -1 - 36 = -37$

When $\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$a = -2 - 18 = -20$

When $\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$a = -3 - 12 = -15$

When $\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

$a = -4 - 9 = -13$

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

$Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9$

$Sum = -81$
