Answer:

$l= \frac{A}{2h} -w$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not correct (particularly the expression for the area)

A=2lh+2wh

Now we are expected to solve for l, that is we are going to make l subject of the formula, we have

let us take the second term on the RHS to the LHS

$A-2wh= 2lh$

we can now divide both sides by 2h we have

$\frac{A-2wh}{2h} = l\\\\l=\frac{A}{2h} -\frac{2wh}{2h} \\\\l= \frac{A}{2h} -w$

hence the expression for the length is $l= \frac{A}{2h} -w$

A school is planning to construct two rectangular play areas in the playground. The length of play area A must be 1 foot longer

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

А.The system has two solutions, but only one is viable because the other results in a negative width.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$L_A \to$ length of play area A

$W_A \to$ width of play area A

$L_B \to$ length of play area B

$W_B \to$ width of play area B

$x \to$ Area of A

$y \to$ Area of B

From the question, we have the following:

$L_A = 1 + 4W_A$

$W_B = 2 + W_A$

$L_B = 2 + 3W_B$

$x = y$

The area of A is:

$x = L_A * W_A$

This gives:

$x = (1 + 4W_A) * W_A$

Open bracket

$x = W_A + 4W_A^2$

The area of B is:

$y = L_B * W_B$

$y = (2 + 3W_B) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Substitute: $W_B = 2 + W_A$

$y = (2 + 3(2 + W_A)) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Open brackets

$y = (2 + 6 + 3W_A) * ( 2 + W_A)$

$y = (8 + 3W_A) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Expand

$y = 16 + 8W_A + 6W_A + 3W_A^2$

$y = 16 + 14W_A + 3W_A^2$

We have that:

$x = y$

This gives:

$W_A + 4W_A^2 = 16 + 14W_A + 3W_A^2$

Collect like terms

$4W_A^2 - 3W_A^2 + W_A -14W_A - 16 =0$

$W_A^2 -13W_A - 16 =0$

Using quadratic calculator, we have:

$W_A = -14.1$ or $W = 1.13$ --- approximated

But the width can not be negative; So:

$W = 1.19$

Please help !!!!!!!!!

atroni [7]

Answer:

Katherine invested $12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

$I=P\cdot r\cdot t,$

where

I = interest,

P = principal,

r = rate (as decimal),

t = time (in years).

In your case,

t = 1 year,

r = 0.06 (or 6%)

P + I =$12,720, thus

$12,720-P=P\cdot 0.06\cdot 1\\ \\12,720-P=0.06P\\ \\12,720=P+0.06P\\ \\1.06P=12,720\\ \\P=\dfrac{12,720}{1.06}\\ \\P=\$12,000\\ \\I=\$12,720-\$12,000=\$720$

Tara wants to weigh her three stuffed animals. They will only fit on the scale two at a time. Together Addie and Missy weight 18

Pepsi [2]

Answer: Addie weighs 4 ounces

Missy weighs 14 ounces

Corky weighs 8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the weight of Addie.

Let m represent the weight of Missy.

Let c represent the weight of Corky.

Together Addie and Missy weigh 18 ounces. This means that

a + m = 18 - - - - - - - - - 1

Missy and Corky weigh 22 ounces. This means that

m + c = 22

m = 22 - c - - - - - - - - - - 2

Addie and Corky weigh 12 ounces. This means that

a + c = 12

a = 12 - c - - - - - - - - - - - 3

Substituting equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1, it becomes

22 - c + 12 - c = 18

34 - 2c = 18

- 2c = 18 - 34 = - 16

c = - 16/ - 2 = 8

Substituting c = 8 into equation 2, it becomes

m = 22 - 8

m = 14

Substituting c = 8 into equation 3, it becomes

a = 12 - 8

a = 4
