77 feet^2

Explanation:

Area of the wall is

8 2/5 × 18 1/3

42/5 × 55/3

14/5 × 55/1

14/1 × 11/1 = 154 feet^2

The area we want is half of this

77 feet^2

Given the system of equations, what is the x-coordinate of the solution?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: Choice C) -11

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

The first equation given is y = 3 - 1/2x
In other words, y is the same as 3 - 1/2x.
We can replace y in the second equation with 3 - 1/2x
This is known as substitution (think of a substitute teacher who is a temporary replacement for your teacher)

Doing this leads to...
3x+4y = 1
3x+4*y = 1
3x+4*( y ) = 1
3x+4*( 3 - 1/2x ) = 1 <<--- y has been replaced with 3-1/2x
3x+4*(3) +4*(-1/2x) = 1
3x+12-2x = 1
3x-2x+12 = 1
x+12 = 1
x+12-12 = 1-12 <<-- subtracting 12 from both sides
x = -11
Which is why the answer is choice C) -11

Maddie biked 8 3/4 miles today, and Chase bikes 3 1/2 miles. How many times the length of Chase’s bike ride was Maddie’s bike ri

borishaifa [10]

Answer: 2.5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of Chase’s bike ride= $8\dfrac{3}{4}\ miles$

The length of Maddie’s bike ride= $3\dfrac{1}{2}\ miles$

In improper fraction : Length of Chase’s bike ride= $\dfrac{4(8)+3}{4}\ miles$

$=\dfrac{35}{4}\ miles$

Similarly , Length of Maddie’s bike ride= $\dfrac{7}{2}\ miles$

The number of times the length of Chase’s bike ride was Maddie’s bike ride= $\dfrac{\text{ Length of Chase’s bike ride}}{\text{ Length of Maddie’s bike ride}}$

$=\dfrac{\dfrac{35}{4}}{\dfrac{7}{2}}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5$

Hence, the length of Chase’s bike ride was 2.5 times Maddie’s bike ride.
