X+y+z=32
x=z-4
y=x+1
z=x+4
x+x+1+x+4=32
3x+5=32
3x=27
x=9
y=10
z=13

Hope this helps :)

A square storage unit has a volume of 607.5 ft3. The height of the unit is 7.5 ft. What are the length and width of the storage

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The base area of the storage is its volume divided by height

$A = \frac{V}{h} = \frac{607.5}{7.5} = 81 ft^2$

Since this base is a square, its length and width is of equal length, which is

$\sqrt{A} = \sqrt{81} = 9ft$

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.

A triangular course for a canoe race is marked with buoys. The first leg is 3/10 mi, the second leg is 1/2 mi, and the third leg

balu736 [363]

<h2>The race is 1.2 miles long</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The first leg is 3/10 mi, the second leg is 1/2 mi, and the third leg is 2/5 mi.

$\texttt{Length of first leg = }\frac{3}{10}miles\\\\\texttt{Length of second leg = }\frac{1}{2}miles\\\\\texttt{Length of third leg = }\frac{2}{5}miles$

Now we need to find length of race

$\texttt{Total length = }\frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5}\\\\\texttt{Total length = }\frac{3}{10}+\frac{5}{10}+\frac{4}{10}\\\\\texttt{Total length = }\frac{3+5+4}{10}\\\\\texttt{Total length = }\frac{12}{10}\\\\\texttt{Total length = }1.2miles$

The race is 1.2 miles long

How do I solve these questions? <br> 5(1+9v)<br> 20b+12<br> -9/4r=-9/2

MatroZZZ [7]

5(1+9v) = 5+ 45v
20b+12= 4(5b+3)
And the last one is r=2
