The width of a rectangle is the length minus 3 units. The area of the rectangle is 10

Mathematics
1 answer:
sergeinik [125]3 years ago

Answer:

w=2

Step-by-step explanation:

A=length times width (A=lw)

w= l-3

A=10

Substituting in, we get:

10= l(l-3)

Now, solve the equation.

10= l^{2}-3l

l^{2}-3l-10=0

(l+2) (l-5)=0 (factoring the equation)

Therefore, l= -2 or 5

Throw out the negative value because a length of rectangle will never be negative.

Now let's solve for width

Remember w=l-3

therefore

(5)-3=2

so, w=2

(honestly, this is easier to just do in your head. But here is the long form math if you happen to run into more complicated problems.)

X = 16 - 4y<br> 3x + 4y =8 <br> substitution method
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

i think x = -4, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 16 - 4y

3x + 4y = 8

3(16 - 4y)+4y = 8

48-12y+4y = 8

48-8y = 8

48-8 = 8y

40 = 8y

5 = y

so

x = 16 - 4y

x = 16 - 4(5)

x = 16 - 20

x = -4

A bag is on sale for $30. If the sale is 25% off, what was the original price of the bag? Explain your thinking
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

30x25/100

25%=7,5$

30+7,5$=37,5$

The original price was 37,5 because you had to first find out what was 25% in $ to then do the opposite of a sale since we are finding the original price so we have to add it to 30$ since 30$ was the price after the sale.

Hope this helps, have a good day!

Solve for x 3x + 3 − x + (−7) &gt; 6 A. x &gt; (−5) B. x &gt; 2.5 C. x &gt; 5 D. x &lt; 5
denpristay [2]

ANSWER

C. x>5

EXPLANATION

The given inequality is:

3x + 3 − x + (−7) > 6

Deal with the parenthesis first to obtain;

3x + 3 − x −7 > 6

Group similar terms to get:

3x − x> 6-3+7

Combine similar terms to get,

2x \:  > \:  10

Divide both sides by 2 to obtain:

x \:  >  \: 5

The correct choice is C. x>5

What is the difference between 126 1/4 an 78 2/3
Vaselesa [24]
1) find the lcd the lcd is 12
2)rewrite  the fractions 1/4 and 2/3 using 12 as the denominator (second column) you get 3/12 and 8/12
3) since its confusing to subtract 8/12 from 3/12 you need to borrow one form the 126 doing so is the same as taking 12/12 from 126 this change to 125 and the 12/12 adds to the 3/12 making it 15/12
4) subtract 8/12 form 15/12 to get 7/12
5) subtract 78 form 125 to get 47
6) the answer is 47 7/12
