The  variable x represent the length of rectangle.

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values.

In order to determine the values, these symbols are also subjected to various addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division arithmetic operations.

Given:

Perimeter= 64 units

let the length be x.

So, width = x - 3

So, Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + w)

64 = 2( x+ x -3)

32 = 2x -3

29= 2x

x= 29/2

Hence, the variable x represent the length of rectangle.

Does the quadratic have a maximum or minimum
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

B)max/ opens down

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola equation:

The equation of a parabola has the following format:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

If a > 0, that is, x² is multiplied by a positive number, the function has a minimum value and the parabola opens up.

If a < 0, that is, x² is multiplied by a negative number, the function has a maximum value and the parabola opens down.

In this question:

y = -x^2 - 2x + 3

From the graph, we already see that it opens down and has a max, and analitically, since a = -1 < 0, this is confirmed. The correct answer is given by option b.

Dorian buys 2 pounds of almonds for $21.98 and 3 pounds of dried apricots for $26.25. Which is less expensive per pound? How muc
ozzi

Answer:

The apricots are less expensive per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 pound of almonds = 21.98/2

Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $21.98

So then you have to do 21.98 - 21.98/2. Which equals $10.99

Cost of 1 pound of dried apricots = 26.25/3

Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25

So then you have to do $26.25 - 26.25/3 which = $17.5 then divide that by 2 which equals $8.75.

To find out how much less expensive you have to find the difference, so to do that you have to do $10.99 - $8.75 = $2.24 per pound less expensive.

What is x+y=10;y=x+10
Alenkasestr [34]

[ Answer ]

\boxed{\bold{X \ = \ 0, \ Y \ = \ 10}}

[ Explanation ]

  • System Of Equations \bold{\left \{ {X \ + \ Y \ = \ 10} \atop {Y \ + \ X \ = \ 10}} \right.}

-----------------------------------

  • [Substitute] Y = X + 10

\bold{\begin{bmatrix}x+x+10=10\end{bmatrix}}

  • Isolate x for x + x + 10 = 10: x = 0

For y = 10

Substitute x = 0

Y = 0 + 10

0 + 10 = 10

y = 10

  • Solutions

X = 0

Y = 10

\boxed{\bold{[] \ Eclipsed \ []}}

Solve the right triangle. Round decimals answers to the nearest tenth.
9966 [12]

Answer:

3^2 + x^2 = 9^2

9 + x^2 = 81

x^2 = 72

x = \sqrt{72\\}, which is about 8.5

Cosine X = 3/9

Cosine X = 1/3

angle x= 70.5

If angle x= 70.5, angle z = 19.5 degrees.

Let me know if this helps!
