Answer:

the length and width . Round to the nearest tenth are 8.8 inches and 3.8 inches respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area A of a rectangle is the product of the length L and width W. This may be expressed mathematically as

A = L * W

As such, given that the length is 5 inches more than the width,

L = W + 5

33 = W(W + 5)

W² + 5W  - 33 = 0

Using the formula method which states that

s = -b±√(b²-4ac)/2a

W = -5 ± √5² - 4(1)(-33)/2

= -5 ± 12.53/2

= 7.53/2 (since length cannot be negative)

= 3.755 inches

L = 3.755 + 5

= 8.755 inches

Solve the system of equations by substitution.<br> 3/8x +1/3y=17/24<br> x+7y=8
const2013 [10]

Answer:

x=1, y=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the second equation:

x = 8 - 7y, so substituting for x in the first equation:

3/8(8 - 7y) + 1/3y = 17/24

3 - 21/8 y + 1/3y = 17/24

1/3y - 21/8y = 17/24 - 3

Multiply through by 24:

8y - 21*3 y = 17 - 72

8y - 63y = -55

-55y = -55

y = 1.

And  substituting for y in the second equation:

x + 7(1) = 8

x = 8 - 7

x =  1.

1. What property allows the expression 4.7x + 10.4 + 15.3x − 8.4x + 15.6 to be simplified to the equivalent expression 20x + 10.
Elis [28]

Answer:

  • commutative property
  • distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression

  4.7x + 10.4 + 15.3x − 8.4x + 15.6

can be simplified in a few stages. First of all, we use the commutative property of addition to swap terms 2 and 3.

  4.7x +15.3x +10.4 -8.4x +15.6

Next, we use the distributive property to factor x from the first two terms.

  (4.7 +15.3)x +10.4 -8.4x +15.6

Now we perform addition.

  20x +10.4 -8.4x +15.6 . . . . . . . . equivalent expression

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is the tragon fly beat his wings 30 times a second ,there is 60 hundredths of a second in a second multiply 30 x 60 and you should get 1800.

  1. mulitiply 0x0 = 0

     2.  mulitiply 6x0=0

        3. multiply 3x0=0

          4. mulitiply 6x3 = 18

            5. have 1800

or you can just multiply 6x3 = 18 and add the two zeros
