(-4, 1)
the solution is always where the two points meet!! :)
1 pencil + 1 eraser = $1.10
Pencil cost $1 more than the eraser.
⇒ If we take away $1 from the total, both the pencil and the eraser will cost the same.
⇒ $1.10 - $1.00 = $0.10
Divide by 2 to find the cost of the eraser.
⇒$0.10 ÷ 2 = $0.05
Find the cost of the pencil, which is $1 more than the eraser.
⇒ $0.05 + $1 = $1.05
Answer: The eraser costs $0.05
the answer would be 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
length : 8 m
width : 13/2 = 6.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
area of rectangle = l(ength)×w(idth) = 52
l = 2w - 5
=> (2w - 5)×w = 52
=> 2w² -5w - 52 = 0
we know, when transforming this quadratic equation into a multiplication of two expressions of w, that we need to have 2w and w (to make 2w²), and then which 2 numbers multiply to 52 and add to -5 (when one is multiplied by 2 due to 2w) : -13 and 4
=> (2w - 13)×(w + 4) = 0
=> 2 solutions for w :
2w-13 = 0
2w = 13, w = 13/2
w+4 = 0, w = -4
negative values for a side length of a shape do not make sense, so the only usable solution is w = 13/2
=> l = 2w - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8
