width = x

length = 2x+8

area = l x w

x<span>(2x+8)</span>=120

<span><span>2<span>x^2</span>+8x−120=0 </span> </span>

<span><span><span>x^2</span>+4−60=0 </span></span>

<span><span><span>(x+10)</span><span>(x−6)</span>=0</span> </span>

<span><span>x=−10 and x=6 </span></span>

<span><span> width has to be a positive number</span></span>

Width = <span>6 </span> inches.

The marketing department of a sports supply store wants to estimate the percentage of adults in the town who belong to a gym.
velikii [3]
A) If you only sample people in a sports supply store, your sample will be biased.  People in a sports supply store are more likely to be people that belong to a gym.
B) While it does not have necessarily the same amount of bias as sampling people in the sports supply store, people that go to a park are generally more likely to be people that exercise or have a gym membership.
C) Taking a random sample of people in town is a good way to get a non-biased sample.  They are not necessarily predisposed to answer your question one way or another.
D) For the same reason as choice A, this is a biased sample.

C is the best choice.

The original price of a video game is $32.99 before tax. When Mario bought the video game it rang up as $26.39 before tax. He th
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Part A: The percent discount on game is 20%.

Part B: Mario paid a total of $28.50 including sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Part A:

Original price of video game = $32.99

Discounted price = $26.39

Amount of discount = 32.99 - 26.39 = $6.60

Discount percent = \frac{Amount\ of\ discount}{Original\ price}*100

Discount percent = \frac{6.60}{32.99}*100 = 0.20*100

Discount percent = 20%

Part B:

Sales tax = 8% of discounted price

Amount of sales tax = \frac{8}{100}*26.39 = 0.08*26.39

Amount of sales tax = $2.11

Total amount = $26.39 + $ 2.11 = $28.50

Hence,

Part A: The percent discount on game is 20%.

Part B: Mario paid a total of $28.50 including sales tax.

Help please: A bus and a train leave a station at the same time, t = 0. The graph shows the bus's distance to the next station o
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

y = (5/2)x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bus and train are both at the station at time 0, the y-intercept for the new equation is 20. That is one point on the new graph: (0,20) The question said that the train travels faster, that means it spends less time getting to the next station. The existing graph shows the bus got to the next station in 10 minutes, so maybe the train got there in 8 minutes. So another point on the graph is (8,0) We can use a slope formula to calculate the slope of a new line. Or just count squares on the graph (se image) to find the slope. Slope tells how steep a line is, whether the line is going up or down, but also the slope is like directions how to get from one point to another point on the line.

All you need to write an equation is the slope, m and the y-intercept, b and fill those two numbers into the formula y=mx+b Here slope is 5/2 and y-intercept is 20. So you get

y=(5/2)x +20
