L=2w-3
w(2w-3)=54
2w²- 3w-54=0
A= 2 , B= -3, C= -54
sub values into quadratic formula
i attached picture of formula
Final answer: you will be given 2 answers 6 and -4.5. -4.5 is rejected since a negative value cannot represent length because that just doesn't make sense.
w=6
Check:
L=2w-3
=2(6)-3
=12-3
=9
9*6=54
Therefore the dimensions of the photograph are 6 cm by 9 cm
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
First, you add up all the prices. 1.79 + 2.99 + 4.37 + 0.33 = 9.48. Then, you do 10.00 - 9.48 = 0.52 and that's your answer.
I'm not sure what this means. If you have choices you should list them.
(1/2)*(1/4 + 1/6) is an example of what should be given. There are two ways to solve this.
1. Use the distributive property.
1/2*1/4 + 1/2* 1/6
1/8 + 1/12 Which can be added using the LCD of 24
3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24
Method 2
Add what is inside the brackets first.
1/2 ( 1/4 + 1/6)
1/2(3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12
Now multiply by 1/2
1/2(5/12) = 5*1/(12 * 2) = 5 / 24 Same answer.
