It looks like we have two unknowns here and two possible equations so to solve this we will need to utilize our systems of equations, I will be using the substitution method.
We know that all of the parts multiplied together is equal to the volume.
We know that the volume is 126 square inches
The height is seven inches
The width is unknown, let w be the width
The length is unknown, let l be the length
We know that the length is three inches more than the width (l=w+3)
We know that the height times the length times the width is equal to the volume (7lw=126)
Since we know that l=w+3, we can substitute w+3 in for l,
7(w+3)(w)=126
Now we can solve our equation
7(w+3)(w)=126
(7w+21)(w)
7w^2+21w=126
Now we will complete the square to solve for w
7w^2+21w=126
w^2+3w=18
w^2+3w+2.25=20.25
(w+1.5)^2=20.25
w+1.5=4.5
w=3
We have now found out using our knowledge of systems of equations that the width of this prism is 3 inches.

Set up an equation to show (×+2)×5=y
Masteriza [31]
<span>5x+10 = y

Subtract 10 from both sides.

5x = y - 10

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 1/5y - 2

Plugin 1/5y - 2 for the y.
5(1/5y - 2)
1 - 10 + 10 = y

1 = y

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

12,633.7

Step-by-step explanation:

population of Chicago, in 2003 = 2,869,121

The area of Chicago = 227.1 square miles.

What was the average number of people living in 1 square mile?

Average number of people living in 1 square mile also refers to the population density of Chicago

Average number of people living in 1 square mile = Total population / total square miles

= 2,869,121 / 227.1

= 12633.734037868

Approximately

12,633.7

Audrey is buying a new car for 32,998.00. She plans to make a down payment of 4,200.00. If she's to make a monthly payments of 5
UkoKoshka [18]

<span>This question is an annuity problem with cost of the car = $32,998, the present value of the annuity (PV) is given by the difference between the cost of the car and the down payment = $32,998 - $4,200 = $28,798. The monthly payments (P) = $525 and the number of number of years (n) = 5 years and the number of payments in a year (t) is 12 payments (i.e. monthly) The formula for the present value of an annuity is given by PV = (1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) / (r/t) 28798 = 525(1 - (1 + r/12)^-(5 x 12)) / (r/12) 28798r / 12 = 525(1 - (1 + r/12)^-60) 28798r / (12 x 525) = 1 - (1 + r/12)^-60 2057r / 450 = 1 - (1 + r/12)^-60 Substituting option A (r = 37% = 0.37) 2057r / 450 = 2057(0.37) / 450 = 761.09 / 450 = 1.691 1 - (1 + r/12)^60 = 1 - (1 + 0.37/12)^-60 = 1 - 0.1617 = 0.8383 Therefore, r is not 37% Substituting option D (r = 3.7% = 0.037) 2057r / 450 = 2057(0.037) / 450 = 76.109 / 450 = 0.1691 1 - (1 + r/12)^60 = 1 - (1 + 0.037/12)^-60 = 1 - 0.8313 = 0.1687 Therefore, r is approximately 3.7%</span>
