Answer:

Area = 84 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the area of the rectangle, you need to first set up an equation to find the length based on the information already given in the problem.  Since the perimeter = 40 and the formula to find perimeter of a rectangle is:       P = 2W + 2L, where W = width and L=Length, we can solve for 'L' by putting in the values given:

P = 2W + 2L  or  40 = 2W + 2(3W - 4)

The length of the rectangle is '4 less than 3 times the width'.  This can be written as the expression '3W - 4'.

Distribute:  40 = 2W + 2(3W - 4)  or 40 = 2W + 6W - 8

Combine like terms:  40 = 8W - 8

Add '8' to both sides:  40 + 8 = 8W - 8 + 8 or 48 = 8W

Divide both sides by '8':  48/8 = 8W/8 or 6 = W

Solve for L:  3W - 4 or 3(6) - 4 = 18 - 4 = 14

Since L=14 and W = 6, we can solve for Area using the formula: A = LxW or A = (14)(16) = 84in².

in the bag, there are certain number of toy- blocks with alphabets A,B,C and D written on them. The ratio of blocks A:B:C:D is 4
Svet_ta [14]
Given, the ratio of blocks A, B, C,D are in the ratio 4:7:3:1

Let us consider the common ratio to be ‘x’.

So, toy blocks with alphabet A is 4x and

toy blocks with alphabet B is 7x and

toy blocks with alphabet C is 3x and

toy blocks with alphabet D is x


Again, the number of ‘A’ blocks is 50 more than the number of ‘C’ blocks.

As no. of ‘A’ and ‘C’ blocks are 4x and 3x respectively.

So,

4x=50 + 3x

x=50

Thus, the number of ‘B’ blocks is 7x = 7(50) = 350

350 is the required number.

2x+y=5 , 3x+2y=8 solve using cross multiplication​
Xelga [282]

Answer:

x=2

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=5

3x+2y= 8

<=> 6x+3y=15

6x+4y=16

<=> -y=-1

2x+y=5

<=> y=1

2x+1=5

<=> y=1

2x=4

<=> y=1

x=2

Phoenix [80]

A) We are told that at 2 hours, the velocity is 18 km/h and at 4 hours, the velocity is 4 km/h. Since we are relating two variables - let's give them names.

Let x = time and y = velocity. Since the velocity depends on the time (that is, the time influences velocity), this is a linear function. Any linear function can be written in slope intercept form as y = mx + b. The problem wants the situation in standard from of Ax + By = C, which can be found from slope intercept form.

So now we can make our line. Consider the ordered pairs of (2,18) and (4, 4) with them in (x, y) form. Finding the slope, m, between these points is as such:

m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

m = 4 - 18 / 4 - 2

m = -14 / 2 = -7.

Our slope is -7.

We take m = -7, x = 4, and y = 4 (it goes 4 km/h in 4 hrs) and use those three things to find the y-intercept.

y = mx + b

4 = -7 * 4 + b

4 = -28 + b

32 = b

So our equation of the line is y = -7x + 32. To put the equation into standard form, we need to place all the variables on one side of the equals sign, all the numbers on the other.

y = -7x + 32

7x + y = 32

In standard form, the equation for this situation is 7x + y = 32

***

To find out the velocity at 8 hours, we evaluate our function at x = 8. Either equation (standard form or slope intercept) works; we use standard form.

7x + y = 32

7*8 + y = 32

56 + y = 32

y = -24

At a time of eight hours, the bicycle is moving at -24 km/h.
