Can someone please check if these are correct?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Here is the first one:

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

What I want to know is, did I do part b correctly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A = x^2+12x\] \[A = w \times l\] You can let width = x length = l \[Area = l*x \implies x^2+12x=l*x\] Solve for l. Once you get l you can easily solve for width, So yes, B is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make sure you put the dimensions, so 220 ft^2

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Did I completely answer the question there? I know my math is correct, but I am just not sure if I am doing what is being asked for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah your way is fine as well, \[A = x^2+12x \implies 100+120 \]

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Thanks:) Can you check a couple more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Btw when you factor x^2+12x = x(x+12)

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Yeah, I know, I just wrote it that way because I had to use the guess and check method, which I learned had to result in an answer that looks like that. Both answers are correct, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Ok:) Here's the next one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the same process as the last :P

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I actually kind of already know the rest are correct, I just have this habit of making sure about everything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b is not right. You plugged in the given value to the area expression, not the length and width.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

But I don't see any other expression than that one. @albertedison98

OpenStudy (radar):

@quickstudent Another way to look at this is, provided you are familiar with "long division" is to look at it like this: A = l * w so|dw:1407077119617:dw|
