Answer: the length is 11 cm.
The width is 7 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.
Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.
The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that
LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1
The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that
L = W + 4
Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes
(W + 4)W = 77
W² + 4W = 77
W² + 4W - 77 = 0
W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0
W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0
W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0
W = 7 or W = - 11
Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm
L = 77/7 = 11 cm
You can just plug in one of the points to each equation until you get an equality that is true.
I chose to use (-3,2)
1. 5x+3y=1
5(-3)+3(2)=1
(-15)+ 6 = 1
(-9) = 1 <<<(FALSE)
2. x+5y=3
(-3)+5(2)= 3
(-3)+10= 3
7=3 <<<(FALSE)
3. 3x+5y=1
3(-3) + 5(2)= 1
(-9)+10=1
1=1<<<(TRUE)
So, the correct equation is 3x+5y=1.
Make sense?
Answer:
C. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8% over the
number of subscribers the year before.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula :
S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)^y to estimate ;
S = number of subscribers ; y = years
The expression : (1 + 0.08)^y
0.08 = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
(1 + 0.08)^y represents a continous growth or increase in the number of subcsribers by 8% over the number of subscribers the preceeding year
