What are you solving for? X or y or do you just need to put it in slope intercept form
Answer:
The answer to your question is l = 12 and w = 7/2 or 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
length = l
width = w
Area = 42 yd²
Process
1) Write equations that help to solve this problem
Area = length x width = l x w
Length = 2width + 5 or l = 2w + 5
2) Substitution
42 = lw Equation l
l = 2w + 5 Equation ll
42 = (2w + 5)w Substitute equation ll in l
3.- Expand
42 = 2w² + 5w
2w² + 5w - 42 = 0
Solve the equation by factoring
-Multiply 2 by 42
2 x 42 = 84
-Find the prime factors of 84
84 = 2² 3 7
-Find two numbers that added gives +5 using the prime factors
These numbers are +12 and -7
-Substitute the values in the equation
2w² -7w + 12w - 42
-Factor by grouping
w(2w - 7) + 6(2w - 7)
(2w - 7)(w + 6)
-Find w
2w₁ - 7 = 0 w₂ + 6 = 0
w₁ = 7/2 w₂ = -6 This value is discarted because
there are no negative values
-Find l
l = 2(7/2) + 5
l = 7 + 5
l = 12
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is A because all of the other options are favorable circumstances to refinance. There's no need to refinance if the loan in question (a mortgage in this case) has already been paid off.
Answer:
The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec
Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the side walk and y represent her walking speed
It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk
Distance = speed × time
176 = (x+y)×44
44x+44y = 176
x+y = 4 .......1
It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction).
21 = (y-x)7
7y - 7x = 21
y - x = 3 ......2
Add equation 1 to 2
2y = 7
y = 3.5 ft/sec
From equation 1
x + y = 4
x = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5
x = 0.5 ft/sec
The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec
Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec
