Write x-4 instead of y.
x²+(x-4)²=40
x²+x²-8x+16=40
2x²-8x-24=0
x²-4x-12=0
(x-6)(x+2)=0
x=6 or x=-2
for x=6, y=6-4 = 2
for x=-2, y=-2-4 = -6
we are given
distance=6.7 furlongs
(a) In rods
we know that

we can multiply both sides by 6.7

..............Answer
(b) In chains
we know that

we can multiply both sides by 6.7

..............Answer
S(t) = 3.82 - 0.2t
Step-by-step explanation:
After 7 weeks, the ice is 2.42 meters thick. The ice loses 0.2 meters of thickness per week; this means on the 7th week, it has lost 7(0.2) = 1.4 meters of thickness.
This means the ice started at 2.42+1.4 = 3.82 meters thick.
Our function will start at the original thickness of the ice, 3.82 meters.
Since the ice is losing thickness, we will subtract; it loses at a rate of 0.2 meters per week (t), which gives us 0.2t. This is subtracted from the original, 3.82 meters, giving us
S(t) = 3.82 - 0.2t
Answer:
d=104
Dasha's garden had 104 originally
Step-by-step explanation:
let d for dasha and a for Anna
d=4a
a=d/4
d-39=a+39
d-39=d/4 +39
d-d/4=39+39
3/4 d =78
3d=4*78
d=(4*78)/3
d=312/3
d=104
Dasha's garden had 104 originally
