Answer:

The length is 20, and the width is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to write an expression to represent this situation. w can be the width, and the length can be 2w-10. To fnd the area, you multiply these together. w(2w-10) is 2w^2 -10w. From there, 15 is the only value of w that satisfies the equation, so w=15. Substitute 15 into your expression for lngth, and 2(15)-10 is 30-10 is 20, so the length is 20.

Using factor theorem , show that (x -4) is a factor 2x3 + x2 -26x - 40 and hence factorize completely.

notka56 [123]

Step-by-step explanation:

if x-4 is a factor of 2x^3 + x^2- 26x - 40

then f(4) = 0

f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2- 26x - 40

f(4) = 2(4)^3 + (4)^2 - 26(4) - 40

f(4)= 2(64) + 16 - 104 - 40

f(4) = 128 + 16 - 104 - 40

f(4) = 0

hence factorize completely is the photo

If 15% of an item is $18 what is the original price??

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

If you were trying to find 15% of 18, that would be multiplying a decimal, but, you need to mutliply a whole number. $120 should be your answer. People, correct me if I'm wrong (seriously though, not 100% sure if this is correct).

Step-by-step explanation:

18 = 15% x Y

18 = 15/100 x Y

Y = 18 × 100/15

Y = 18 × 100 ÷ 15

Y = 120

Which equation represents a line that passes through (4,1/3) and has a slope of 3/4?

scoray [572]

Step-by-step explanation:

With this kind of problem, we're looking at an equation in the form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

(m = slope)

so we can substitute m, y1, and x1 with the values we're given.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1/3 = 3/4(x - 4)

Answer:

y - 1/3 = 3/4(x - 4)
