Ralph wants to build a rectangular deck with a predefined area of 66 feet squared. One side of the deck will be 5 feet longer than the other. To find the side lengths, he first writes the equation and later simplifies it to
, where
is the length of the shorter side. Which of these are the side lengths, in feet, of the rectangular deck

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

see below

step-by-step explanation:

x+2> 6

subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 > 6-2

x > 4

there is an open circle at 4 since is it is greater than and the line goes to the right

b, 20 yards
