<span>(230 + w) x ( t ) = ( 275 )
(230 - w) x ( t ) = ( 185) 

t = 275 / (230 + w)
t = 185 / (230 - w) 

275 / (230 + w) = 185 / (230 - w)
275(230 - w) = 185(230 + w)
63250 - 275w = 42550 + 185w
20700 = 460w
w = 45mph

Answer: 3.5, 4.5, 9.5, 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the image below to see where A, B, C, and D are.

A + B = 8

B + D = 8

A + C = 13

C - D = 6

we can see that A + B = 8 and D + B = 8,  so A = D

substitute this into A + C = 13 to get D + C = 13

from D + C = 13 we can get D = 13 - C

plug this into C - D = 6 to get C - (13 - C) = 6

2C - 13 = 6

2C = 19

C = 9.5

Now we can find D = 13 - C = 13 - 9.5 = 3.5

D = 3.5

Now we can find A = D = 3.5

A = 3.5

Now we can find B from A + B = 8

B = 8 - A = 8 - 4.5 = 4.5

B = 4.5

$17.49 because you multiply 22 by .25 getting 5.5. You subtract that from the original 22 getting 16.5 which you then multiply by the sales tax .06. Add the tax amount to the 16.5 to get 17.49.

–6​x ​≥ ​72 solve (please help me because I'm not sure if my answer is correct or not)
Alik [6]

Yes you are correct. You divide both sides by -6 to isolate x. Dividing both sides by a negative number will flip the inequality sign.

If you need to graph this, then you'll have a closed circle at -12 on the number line. Then you'll have shading to the left of this closed circle. The closed circle indicates "include this endpoint as part of the shaded solution set".

tester [92]
Let w be the width of the deck. Then, using the total area, we get:
(9+2w)(18+2w)=400
4w²+54w-238=0
2w²+27w-119=0
(2w-7)(w+17)=0
w=-17 or 7/2
Using the positive value, we get a width of 3&1/2 ft. for the deck
