p = 2w + 2l              p = 42 
a = l * w                   a = 108

You want to make either the length or width variable (I chose the width variable to be by itself. It doesn't matter) by itself by:

Divide both sides by 2.
(p) ÷ 2 = (2w + 2l) ÷ 2 
               2's  cancel  out
\frac{p}{2} = w + l

Subtract both sides by either length or width depending on what variable you chose to make by itself (in this case I subtracted the length variable because I wanted the width variable by itself).
\frac{p}{2} - l = w + l - l
                 l's  cancel  out 
p/2 - l = w

a = l * w

You replace w with the equation above p/2 - l = w 
a = l( \frac{p}{2} - l)

Multiply out the L.
a = \frac{p}{2}l - l^{2}

Plug in all your numbers a = 110 and p = 42
110 = \frac{42}{2}l - l^{2}
110 = 21l - l^{2

Move everything to the left side so l^{2} would be positive (makes the equation easier when l^{2} is positive).
l^{2} - 21l + 110 = 0

Factor.
(l -10)(l-11) = 0

Make each parenthesis set equal to 0.
l-11=0     l-10=0

Add.
l = 11  l = 10

By doing this you solve for both the width and length so the answer is:
w = 11    L = 10

What is the area of the sail?
marishachu [46]
Area = 30 meters ^2

Area of a triangle is found by multiplying both sides and then dividing that answer by 2.

So 6 times 10 is 60, and 60 divided by 2 is 30.

Answer:

  • The percentage of total votes received by Molly
  • 58%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We don't know what your menu choices are. The question is asking for the percentage of total votes received by Molly.

__

b) The total number of votes is 21 +29 = 50. Molly's fraction is 29/50. Expressed as a percentage, that is ...

  29/50 × 100% = 58%

The number of a certain company's video stores can be approximated by the linear equation y= -264x+4682, where x is the number o
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Missing co-ordinate for the ordered pair is (7,2834)

Y-intercept is (0,4682)

X-intercept is (17.73,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of a certain company's video stores can be approximated by the linear equation

y= -264\ x+4682

where y is the number of stores and x represents the number of years after 1990.

To find the missing co-ordinate for the ordered pair solution (7,?)

For the ordered pair, we are given the x value which is =7 i.e 7 years after 1990. Thus we will plugin x=7 in the linear equation to get the y value which is number of stores after 7 years from 1990.

y= -264\ (7)+4682

y= -1848+4682

y= 2834

Thus the ordered pair is (7,2834)

To find y-intercept which is the point where the line touches the y-axis, we would plugin x=0 in the equation as the x-coordinate is 0 at y-axis.

y= -264\ (0)+4682

y= 0+4682

y=4682

Thus y-intercept is at point (0,4682)

To find x-intercept which is the point where the line touches the x-axis, we would plugin y=0 in the equation as the y-coordinate is 0 at x-axis and thus for x

0= -264\ x+4682

Subtracting both sides by 4682.

0-4682= -264\ x+4682-4682

-4682= -264\ x

Dividing both sides by -264

\frac{-4682}{-264}= \frac{-264\ x}{-264}

17.73= x

∴ x=17.73

Thus x-intercept is at point (17.73,0)
