We see that the area is 159 3/8 and the length is 18 3/4.

Because the area is the length*width, to find the width, we must divide the area by the length.

Think of it this way:
$A = l*w$

Divide l on both sides:
$\frac{A}{l} = w$

And w is what we're looking for.
So, divide 159 3/8 by 18 3/4.

You should get that the width is 8.5 feet :)

Algebra question I need the work showed with it.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Area of the square + area of 4 semicircles.

use s² to find the area of the square. s=8
s²=18²=324

use πr²/2

=(3.14 x 324)/2
= 508.9

4 semi circles right,
4 x 508.9
=2035.8

total area = 2035.8 + 324
= 2359.8 ft²

What is factorisation

liubo4ka [24]

Factorization is a method of writing numbers as the product of their factors or divisors.

Solution:

Factorisation:

Factorization is a method of writing numbers as the product of their factors or divisors.

In other words we can say, Finding what to multiply together to get an expression.

It is like "splitting" an expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions.

Methods of factorisation:

Factoring out the GCF

The sum-product pattern

The grouping method

The perfect square trinomial pattern

The difference of squares pattern

Factoring out the GCF:

This methods means that factoring out common factors

For example:

$12x^2 + 3x = 3x(4x + 1)$

This can be used when each term in given expression shares a common factor

The sum-product pattern

A quadratic equation may be expressed as a product of two binomials

For example:

$x^2 + 7x + 12 = (x + 3)(x + 4)$

This method can be used for quadratic equations of form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

The grouping method

If the polynomial is of the form $ax^2 + bx + c$ and there are factors of ac that add up to b , we can use this method

For example:

$2x^2 + 7x + 3\\\\2x^2 + 6x + 1x + 3\\\\2x(x + 3) + 1(x + 3)\\\\(x + 3)(2x + 1)$

The perfect square trinomial pattern

If the first and last terms are perfect squares and the middle term is twice the product of their square roots , we can use this method

For example:

$x^2 + 10x + 25\\\\(x + 5)^2$

The difference of squares pattern

If the expression represents a difference of squares, we can use this method

Because $a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)$

For example:

$x^2 - 25\\\\x^2 - 5^2\\\\(x + 5)(x - 5)$

Line L passes through the points (0, --3) and (6,9). (a) Find the equation of line L.

valentina_108 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are :

$(0,\:-3)=(x_1,\:y_1) \:\&\: (6,\:9)=(x_2 ,\:y_2)$

Equation of line in two point form is given as:

$\frac{y -y_1 }{y_1 -y_2 } = \frac{x -x_1 }{x_1 -x_2 } \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y -( - 3)}{ -3 -9 } = \frac{x -0 }{0 -6 } \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y + 3}{ -12} = \frac{x }{ -6 } \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y + 3}{ 2} = \frac{x }{1} \\ \\ \therefore \: y + 3 = 2x \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: 2x - y - 3 = 0}} \\ is \: the \: required \: equation \: of \: line.$

① 5J+2S =12.20 ② 5J+ 10S =15.80 elimination method

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$5J +2S =12.20 ........(1)\\5J+10S=15.80......(2)\\Multiply \:equation \:(1)\:by\:the\:coefficient\:of\:x\:in equation\:(2)\\\\Multiply\:equation(2)\: by\: the\: coefficient\:of \:x\: in \:equation (1)\\\\5J +2S =12.20 ........(1) \times 5\\5J+10S=15.80......(2)\times 5\\\\25J+10S=61......(3)\\25J+50S = 79......(4)\\Subtract\:equation\:(4)\:from\: equation\: (3)\\-40S =-18\\\frac{-40S}{-40}=\frac{-18}{-40}\\ S = 9/20\\$

$Substitute \:9/20\:for \:x \:in\:equation\:(1)\:or \:equation\:(2)\\5J+2S = 12.20\\5J +2(9/20) =12.20\\5J +9/10=12.20\\5J=12.20-9/10\\5J=113/10\\Cross-Multiply\\50J = 113\\J = 113/50$
