 w x L  = 36 

w =  L- 5 

L x  ( L-5 ) = 36 

L^2 -5L -36 =0 

<span>Use the quadratic formula

L=  - b + radical b^2  - 4 (a)(c)  divided    2.a 

L= 5 + 13  / 2  = 18 /2  =9</span>

an engineer estimates that 30% of gasoline is used efficiently by a car. how many gallons,out of 20 gallons, are used efficientl
juin [17]

We need to find 30% of 20 gallons.

1) We can write a proportion

20 gallons ---- 100%

x gallons --------30%

x = 20*30/100 = 6 gallons

2) Or we can write 30% as decimal.

30% = 30/100 = 0.3

0.3 of 20 = 0.3*20 =6 gallons

Answer 6 gallons are used efficiently.

Can someone show me how to do this ?
Savatey [412]
The point slope formula is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

the value x1 is the x coordinate of a point
the value y1 is the y coordinate of a point
the value m is the slope, which is 3

therefore, x1 = -2 & y1 = 1

Then, all you do is plug in the points:

y - 1 = 3(x + 2)

NOTE:
It is 3(x + 2) instead of 3(x - 2) because the formula is (x - x1). If you plug x1 in, it is (x - (-2)). 2 negatives cancel out to be a positive, so it is (x + 2)

60% of a museum’s fossils are from the Jurassic Period. If the number of fossils from the Jurassic period is 15, what is the tot
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer : The total number of fossils at the museum are, 25

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that 60% of a museum’s fossils are from the Jurassic Period.

Let the total number of fossils at the museum be, 'x'

Given:

Number of fossils from the Jurassic period = 15

The % of a museum’s fossils are from the Jurassic Period = 60%

Thus, the expression will be:

\frac{15}{x}\times 100=60

By solving the term 'x' we get:

x=\frac{15}{60}\times 100

x=25

Thus, the total number of fossils at the museum are, 25
