<span>Let x = the width
:
It says,"The length of a rectangle is 4 less than 3 times the width." write that as:
L = 3x - 4
:
If the perimeter is 40, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
:
We know: 2L + 2W = 40
:
Substitute (3x-4) for L and x for W
2(3x-4) + 2x = 40
:
6x - 8 + 2x = 40; Multiplied what's inside the brackets
:
6x + 2x = 40 + 8; do some basic algebra to find x; (added 8 to both sides)

:
8x = 48
:
x = 48/8
:
x = 6 which is the width
:
It said that L = 3x - 4, therefore:
L = 3(6) - 4
L = 18 - 4
L = 14; is the length
:
Check our solutions in the perimeter:
2(14) + 2(6) =
28 + 12 = 40</span>

Length= 3x-4
width= x
perimeter= 72 feet
2(3x-4)+2x=72
6x-8+2x=72
8x-8=72
8x=80
x=10
The width is 10 and the length is 26.

Hope this helps!

Two roots of a third degree polynomial function f(x) are –4 and 4. Which statement describes the number and nature of all roots

marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A third degree polynomial has a <em>total of three roots</em>, real and imaginary combined.

If it already has 2 real roots, -4 and +4, then it has to have three real roots because imaginary roots come in conjugate pairs, i.e. they come in even numbers.

Alaska has a land area of about 1700000 square miles Florida has a land area one tenth of the size of Alaska what is the land ar

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The land area of Florida is $170,000\ mi^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the land area of Alaska in square miles

y -----> the land area of Florida in square miles

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is equal to

$y=\frac{1}{10}x$ ----> equation A

$x=1,700,000$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$y=\frac{1}{10}(1,700,000)=170,000\ mi^2$

Remember that

Florida's land area is one-tenth the size of Alaska is the same as to say that Alaska's land area is ten times the size of Florida

"-3x" + 5 < "-10" Inequality 2: 7x + x - 4 > 28 Which of the following values makes BOTH inequalities TRUE? Select all tha

zysi [14]

Answer:

12, 23, 48, 325

Step-by-step explanation:

So, when given two inequalities and asked to find the values that make both true, it is considered a system of equations. To solve a system of equation, you have to graph the inequalities and find where they intersect.

Inequality 1:

(-3x) + 5 < (-10)

Inequality 2:

7x + x - 4 > 28

simplifies to: 8x - 4 > 28

When graphed, the inequalities don't intersect, but rather have a similar shaded area overlapping from the point of 5 and greater.

Answers that apply from given list would be:

12, 23, 48, 325
