Answer:
Brittany needs another $3.7405.
Step-by-step explanation:
Per pound Cost of turkey = $5.96 per pound
The amount Brittany buys the turkey = 2.55 pounds
Brittany's cost for turkey = 2.55 × $5.96 = $15.198
Per pound cost for cheese = $3.35 per pound
The amount Brittany buys the cheese = 3.7 pounds
Brittany's cost for cheese = 2.55 × $3.35 = $8.5425
So,
Brittany's total cost = Turkey cost + Cheese cost
= $15.198 + $8.5425
= $23.7405
As brittany gave the clerk 20 dollars.
So, the amount she further needs will be:
$23.7405 - $20 = $3.7405
Therefore, Brittany needs another $3.7405.
Answer:
<u>m</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>c</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>1</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
• Let's first phrase out the general equation of a line

- m is the slope
- c is the y-intercept
[ remember that a general line equation must be in slope - intercept form as shown above ]
• from our question, we are given the equation;

• let's make y the subject in order to make the equation in slope - intercept format.
→ <em>r</em><em>e</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>m</em><em>b</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>p</em><em>p</em><em>l</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>"</em><em>s</em><em>u</em><em>b</em><em>j</em><em>e</em><em>c</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>a</em><em>k</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>n</em><em>o</em><em>w</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>d</em><em>g</em><em>e</em><em>"</em>

• The above boxed equation is now a general equation. Let's extract out slope, m and y-intercept, c

Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"
So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"
Answer:
82 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive even integers is 2, thus
let the legs be n and n + 2
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
n² + (n + 2)² = 58² ← expand and simplify left side
n² + n² + 4n + 4 = 3364 ( subtract 3364 from both sides )
2n² + 4n - 3360 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )
n² + 2n - 1680 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 42)(n - 40) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 42 = 0 ⇒ n = - 42
n - 40 = 0 ⇒ n = 40
But n > 0 ⇒ n = 40
and n + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
Thus sum of legs = 40 + 42 = 82 inches
