Take 10 and divide it by 3
The area of a square is
s • s
We can also write this as
s^2
So, for any side length “s”, we can make a function, A(s), such that
A(s) = s^2
Now that we have a quadratic equation for the area of a square, let’s go ahead and solve for the side lengths of a square with a given area. In this case, 225 in^2
225 = s^2
Therefore,
s = sqrt(225)
s = 15
So, the dimensions are 15 x 15 in
Answer:
x^ -10 or 1/x^10
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form: Ax + By = C
Y = 7/5x - 2
Subtract y and add 2
7/5x - y = 2
Multiply by 5
Solution: 7x - 5y = 10
x = quarts of 30% acid solution
y = quarts of 65% solution
x + y = 175
Each quart of the 30% solution contributes 0.30x quarts of acid; similarly, each quart of the 65% solution contributes 0.65y quarts of acid. So
0.3x + 0.65y = 0.55*175 = 96.25
That is, the chemist wants 175 quarts of a new mixture with a 55% concentration of acid, which comes out to 95.25 total quarts of acid. The total amounts of acid from either sides of this equation must balance out.
Now solve for x and y:
x + y = 175 ==> y = 175 - x
0.3x + 0.65y = 96.25 ==> 0.3x + 0.65(175 - x) = 96.25
==> 0.3x + 113.75 - 0.65x = 96.25
==> 17.5 = 0.35x
==> x = 50 ==> y = 125
