The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.
A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).
The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.
The slope of this line is: m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a
Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have: y - b = m(x - 0)
y = (-b/a)x + b
Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx
Answer:
$81.60
Step-by-step explanation:
A 20% markdown means that the chairs were sold at 80% of the original cost.
Original cost = $102
markdown = 20%
Cost after markdown = original cost* (1-markdown)
Cost after markdown = 102 *(1 - 0.20)
= 102*0.80
= 81.6
Therefore, the 4 chairs were sold at a total cost of $81.60
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A = L * W
A = 22
L = 2x + 1
W = 3x + 1
now we sub
22 = (2x + 1)(3x + 1)
22 = 6x^2 + 2x + 3x + 1
22 = 6x^2 + 5x + 1
6x^2 + 5x + 1 - 22 = 0
6x^2 + 5x - 21 = 0 <======part A
(3x + 7)(2x - 3) = 0
3x + 7 = 0 2x - 3 = 0
3x = -7 2x = 3
x = -7/3 x = 3/2
I believe that x = -7/3 is an extraneous solution because when u plug it into ur length and width u get a negative number....and I dont think the sides of ur rectangle have negative values, however, it does work in ur equation and it equals 22 when multiplied...so I am not 100% sure
length = 2x + 1.......2(3/2) + 1........3 + 1 = 4
width = 3x + 1......3(3/2) + 1......9/2 + 1......9/2 + 2/2 = 11/2 (or 5.5) meters <===
