A garden has an area of 264ft^2. Its length is 10 ft more than its width. What are the dimensions of the garden?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of the garden be ' x + 10 '

Let breath of the garden be ' x '

Area of the garden = 264 ft²

Now, let's find the breath of the garden 'x'

Distribute X through the parentheses

Move constant to left and change its sign

Write 10x as a difference

Factor out X from the expression

Factor out -12 from the expression

Factor out X +22 from the expression

When the products of factors equals to 0 , at least one factor is 0

Solve for X

Again,

(The dimensions can't be negative. )

So, width = 12 ft

Now, let's find the length of the garden ' X + 10 '

Plug the value of X

Calculate the sum

Therefore,

Hope this helps..

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
