Answer: length of the drive way = 56 feet

Width of the driveway = 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular driveway has two equal lengths and two equal widths. The area of the driveway is expressed as

length,l × width,w

The area is 672 feet squared. It means that

L×W = 672

The length of the rectangular driveway is four feet less than five times the width. It means that

L = 5W - 4

Substituting L = 5W - 4 into LW = 672

W(5W - 4) = 672

5W^2 - 4W - 672 = 0

5W^2 + 56W - 60W - 672 = 0

W(5W + 56) - 12(5W + 56) = 0

(W - 12)(5W + 56) = 0

W - 12 = 0 or 5W + 56 = 0

W = 12 or 5W = -56

W= 12 or W = - 56/5

The Width cannot be negative , so

W = 12

LW = 672

12L = 672

L = 672/12 = 56

Find the equation of a line that has slope, m, of 4 and passes through the point (10, 15).​
Fantom [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

m=4 , (10, 15)

straight line equation:

y= mx +c

substituting the values:

15=4(10) + c

15 = 40 + c

15 - 40 = c

c = -25

therefore,

y = 4x - 25 (ans)

hope this helps :)))

mina [271]

Answer:

67.20\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n =2430 --- sample

r = 16.72\% --- degeneration rate

From the findings, we have:

p = 377 --- tested positive

t =561 --- total test

Required

The positive predicted value (PPV)

This is calculated using:

PPV=\frac{Positive}{Total}

i.e.

PPV = \frac{377}{561}

PPV = 0.6720

Express as percentage

PPV = 0.6720 * 100\%

PPV = 67.20
