A - 3b = 4 . . . . (1)
a = b - 2 . . . . . (2)
Putting (2) into (1), we have
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2b = 4 + 2 = 6
b = 6/-2 = -3
From (1), a = b - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
Hence, solution = (-5, -3)

Bob is reading a 445 page book. He has already read 157 pages. If he reads 24 pages a day, how long will it take him to finish t
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation with y = mx + b, where m is the rate and b is the y-intercept (starting value)

Let x represent how many days it takes and y represent how many pages he read:

445 = 24x + 157

Solve for x:

288 = 24x

12 = x

So, it will take him 12 days to finish the book

The length of a rectangle is 4 less than three times its width. The perimeter is 72 feet. What are the dimensions of the rectang
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Say width equals x.
Length = 3x - 4
Solve for x: 72 = 2(3x - 4) + 2x
72=6x-8+2x
80=8x
X=10
So width = 10
Length= 3(10) - 4 = 26

An open box with a square base is to have a volume of 18 ft^3.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

2.29 ft of side length and 1.14 height

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Volume V = x2h, where x is side of square base and h is hite.

Then surface area S = x2 + 4xh because box is open.

b) From V = x2h = 6 we have h = 6/x2.

Substitude in formula for surface area: S = x2 + 4x·6/x2, S = x2 + 24/x.

We get S as function of one variable x. To get minimum we have to find derivative S' = 2x - 24/x2 = 0, from here 2x3 - 24 = 0, x3 = 12, x = (12)1/3 ≅ 2.29 ft.

Then h = 6/(12)2/3 = (12)1/3/2 ≅ 1.14 ft.

To prove that we have minimum let get second derivative: S'' = 2 + 48/x3, S''(121/3) = 2 + 48/12 = 6 > 0.

And because by second derivative test we have minimum: Smin = (12)2/3 + 4(12)1/3(12)1/3/2 = 3(12)2/3 ≅ 15.72 ft2
