Answer:

The dimensions should the rug​ have: length = 25 feet and width of 14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of the room is 20 ft wide and 31 ft long

Area of rug purchased by Cynthia Besch = A=350 ft^2

Suppose she leave strip of floor which is x ft thick.

Length of the rug= l = (31-x) ft

Width of the rug= w = (20-x) ft

Area of the rug,A = l × w

350 ft^2= (31-x) ft \times (20-x) ft

350=620-51x+x^2

x^2-51x+270=0

x^2-45x-6x+270=0

x(x-45)-6(x-45)=0

(x-45)(x-6)=0

x = 45 , 6

x = 6 (accept), x= 45 ,(reject, larger than length of the room )

Length of the rug= l = (31-x) ft = 31 - 6 ft = 25 ft

Width of the rug= w = (20-x) ft = 20 - 6 ft = 14 ft

20*31=620
620/2=310
20/2=10
31/2=15.5
The dimensions should be  10*15.5

What is the slope and y-intercept form for : y=-2/4x+5 PLEASE HELP IT WOULD ME SO MUCH THANK YOU!!!!
ddd [48]

Answer:

  y = -1/2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is ...

  y = mx + b

Matching this to the equation you have, you see that ...

  m = -2/4 = -1/2

  b = 5

The equation is already in slope-intercept form. The fraction that is the slope can be reduced, but that is not essential to the form.

Can you show me the work to get this answer write two expressions that have a gcf of 8xy
BigorU [14]
1) Expression 1: 16x^3 y

2) Expression 2: 24 xy^5

Procedure:

1) find the greatest common factor of the coefficients, 16 and 24:

16 = 2^4

24 = (2^3)*3

=> greatest common factor = 2^3 = 8

2) find the greatest common factor of x^3 y and xy^5

That is the common letters each raised to the lowest power:

=> xy

3) Then, the result is 8xy
