I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.

Consider this system of equations.  x + 2y = 5,  –x + 3y = 6 The x- and y-intercepts of the first equation are found below. x-in

Answer:

Part 1) The x-intercept is the point (-6,0)

Part 2) The y-intercept is the point (0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

we have

-x+3y=6

Part 1) Find the x-intercept

For y=0

substitute the value of y in the linear equation and solve for x

-x+3(0)=6

-x=6

x=-6

The x-intercept is the point (-6,0)

Part 2) Find the y-intercept

For x=0

substitute the value of x in the linear equation and solve for y

-(0)+3y=6

3y=6

y=2

The y-intercept is the point (0,2)

PLEASE HELP!!! I don't understand it
Len [333]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is exponential decay; the height of the ball is decreasing exponentially with each successive drop.  It's not going down at a steady rate.  If it was, this would be linear.  But gravity doesn't work on things that way.  If the ball was thrown up into the air, it would be parabolic; if the ball is dropped, the bounces are exponentially dropping in height.  The form of this equation is

y=a(b)^x, or in our case:

A(n)=a(b)^{n-1}, where

a is the initial height of the ball and

b is the decimal amount the bounce decreases each time.  For us:

a = 1.5 and

b = .74

Filling in,

A(n)=1.5(.74)^{n-1}

If ww want the height of the 6th bounce, n = 6.  Filling that into the equation we already wrote for our model:

A(6)=1.5(.74)^{6-1} which of course simplifies to

A(6)=1.5(.74)^5 which simplifies to

A(6)=1.5(.22190066)

So the height of the ball is that product.

A(6) = .33 cm

A is your answer

The ratio is 3:2, purple :green
The bag has 21 purple so to get from 3 to 21 it is multiplied by 7; so we must also multiply the 2 by 7 to keep the ratio balanced.
