Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
20 - 8 = 12
12 + 5 = 17
17 - 7 = 10
10 + 9 = 19
There is not an exact way to answer that question. The number of representatives each state has is determined by the population. However, the total number of house representatives has been capped at 435 since 1913. Currently, the ratio of constituents to representatives is 700,000 to 1. So if you divide the total population by 700,000 you will have an approximation of the number of representatives.
It depend on what question an algebric can have as many but depends???
Answer:
17ft wide
Step-by-step explanation:
The room is 9 by 19ft
Length (x) = 19ft
Width(y) = 9ft
Area of the rug = 119ft^2
x*y = 119 ...........(1)
For the second equation we will make sure the strip around the room is uniform in size
9 - x = 19 - y
-x = 19 - 9 -y
-x = 10 - y
x = y - 10 ..........(2)
Put the value x in equation 1
(y - 10)y = 119
y^2 - 10y = 119
y^2 - 10y - 119 = 0
a = 1, b = -10, c= -119
Use quadratic formula to solve the equation
y = (-b +/-√b^2 -4ac) / 2a
y = [-(-10) +/- √ (-10)^2 - 4(1)(-119)] /2(1)
y = (10 +/- √100 + 476) /2
y = (10+/-√ 576 ) / 2
y = (10 +/- 24) / 2
y = (10 + 24) /2 or (10 - 24)/2
y = 34/2 or -14/2
y = 17 or -7
y = 17 ft
Recall that x = y - 10
x = 17 - 10
x = 7ft
