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.

Mark buys a used car for $12,000. The value of the car depreciates 10% per year from the time he bought the car.
timama [110]

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 10% = 0.10

v(t) = P (1 - r)^t\\\\V(t) = 12000(1 - 0.10)^t\\\\V(t) = 12000\times (0.9)^t

For the pair of supply-and-demand equations, where x represents the quantity demanded in units of 1000 and p is the unit price i
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

7 and 6 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to solve the equations simultaneously.

2x + 7p = 56

3x - 11p = -45

Multiply equation I by 3 and ii by 2

6x +21p = 168

6x - 22p = -90

Subtract the second from first to yield:

43p = 258

p = 6

Insert this in equation 1 where we have 2x + 7p = 56

2x + 7(6) =56

2x + 42 = 56

2x = 14 and x = 7

The equilibrium price is 6 and the equilibrium quantity is 7

Matt Bonner has 8 dimes, 9 pennies, and 4 quarters in his pocket. If each coin is equally likely to be pulled out of his pocket
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

B. 0.602%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is essentially (# times specific event will occur) / (# times general event will occur). Here, we have a few specific events: draw a quarter, draw a second quarter, draw a penny, and draw another penny. The general event will just be the number of coins there are to choose from.

The probability that the first draw is a quarter will be 4 / (4 + 8 + 9) = 4/21.

Since we've drawn one now, there's only 21 - 1 = 20 total coins left. The probability of drawing a second quarter is: (4 - 1) / (21 - 1) = 3/20.

The probability of drawing a penny is: 9 / (20 - 1) = 9/19.

The probability of drawing a second penny is: (9 - 1) / (19 - 1) = 8/18.

Multiply these four probabilities together:

(4/21) * (3/20) * (9/19) * (8/18) = 864 / 143640 ≈ 0.602%

The answer is B.

leonid [27]

Answer:

100 gumdrops per person

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 28 packages and each one has 25.  So just multiply 28 by 25 and you get 700 gumdrops in total.  Finally because there are seven friends in total you divide 700 by 7 and get 100 per person.
