since the 5 is a negative you are actually subtracting it from 3

 so 3 +(-5) is actually 3-5. which = -2

The length of a rectangle is 15 ft greater than its width. If each dimension is decreased by 2 ft, the area will be decreased by
padilas [110]

Answer:

length = 35ft, width = 20ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are working with length (L), width (W), and area (A). We are asked to find the 2 dimensions. The question tells us that L = W + 15, so we can express L in terms of W. However, we still don't know what A is. Since we have 2 unknowns, we somehow need to develop 2 equations to get a solvable system.

We can set up the first equation using the relationship between L and W:

W(W+15)=A

We can set up the second equation using the information in the second sentence:

(W-2)(W+13)=A-106

Now we can plug the first equation, already isolated for A, into the second equation and solve for W:

(W-2)(W+13)=W(W+15)-106\\W^2+11W-26=W^2+15W-106\\4W=80\\W=20

A pretty nasty-looking equation actually becomes pretty easy to solve. We know the length is 15ft greater than the width, so if W=20, L=35.

Find the values of x and y for which ABCD must be a parallelogram.?
Semmy [17]
2x - 2 = x + 2
2x - x = 2 + 2 = 4
x = 4

5y - 8 = y + 24
5y - y = 24 + 8
4y = 32
y = 8.

"three times a number is greater than or equal to 12 and less than 21"
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The required inequality is: 12 ≤ 3x < 21

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: three times a number is greater than or equal to 12 and less than 21

We need to answer following questions:

1) The inequality translated in numerical form

Let number = x

12 ≤ 3x < 21

2) Your work solving the inequality

We need to find value of x. Divide the inequality by x

4 ≤ x < 7

3) The solution graphed on a number line

It is shown in figure attached.

4) The solution in set notation

The set notation is: Considering x belongs to natural numbers N

{∀ x|x∈N, 4 ≤ x < 7}

5) The solution in interval notation

The interval notation is: [4,7)

because we have 4 less than equal to x and x is less than 7
