<span>Red is 'R' while Green is "G" </span>
<span>from the ratio, 5R = 16 G </span>
<span>and the second equation is 6R = G +112 </span>
<span>Lets solve for G in the 2nd equation ----> G = 6R -112 </span>
<span>Plug the G value into the first equation ----> 5R = 16(6R -112) -->R = 19.69 </span>
<span>Plug the R value into the second equation to get G-----> G = 6.14</span>

So close! But instead of adding the multiplication sign after the number you need to add them before. Good job though! :)

2. If AB = 4x + 9. BC = 5x + 2, and AC = 56, then find the value for . AB, BC.<br> A<br> B
inysia [295]

Answer:

AB=29; BC=27

Step-by-step explanation:

So they told us AB=4x+9 and that BC=5x+2, and AC=56 , now to help with the question you can draw this information on a number line. Now on a number you can see that basically AC=AB+BC.

So you would write it as such,,

4x+9+5x+2=56

Combine like terms

9x+11=56

Now you have to isolate the x by itself but first get rid of the 11.

9x+11-11=56-11

You would get

9x=45

Here you can divide 9 by both sides to isolate x.

9x/9=45/9

{x=5}

Now to find the value for both substitue x in the equations for both

1. AB=4x+9 where x is 5

4(5)+9 =AB

20+9 =AB

29=AB

You would do the same with BC

2. BC= 5x+2 where x is 5

5(5)+2= BC

25+2= BC

27=BC

If you want to check your answers you can just substitute x for 5 in the first equation we did where AC=AB+BC

Amanda needs to make a garden plot which has an area less than 18 sq. feet. The length should be 3 feet longer than the width. W
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

<em>Any width less than 3 feet</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The garden plot will have an area of less than 18 square feet. If L is the length of the garden plot and W is the width, the area is calculated by:

A = L.W

The first condition can be written as follows:

LW < 18

The length should be 3 feet longer than the width, thus:

L = W + 3

Substituting in the inequality:

(W + 3)W < 18

Operating and rearranging:

W^2 + 3W - 18 < 0

Factoring:

(W-3)(W+6)<0

Since W must be positive, the only restriction comes from:

W - 3 < 0

Or, equivalently:

W < 3

Since:

L = W + 3

W = L - 3

This means:

L - 3 < 3

L < 6

The width should be less than 3 feet and therefore the length will be less than 6 feet.

If the measures are whole numbers, the possible dimensions of the garden plot are:

W = 1 ft, L = 4 ft

W = 2 ft, L = 5 ft

Another solution would be (for non-integer numbers):

W = 2.5 ft, L = 5.5 ft

There are infinitely many possible combinations for W and L as real numbers.
