Answer:

-12x-15-8x=85 (first combine like terms)

-20x-15=85 (now add 15 to 85, to get x by itself)

-20x=100 (now divide 100 by negative 20)

x=-5

The perimeter of a football field in a certain school is 296m. If the breadth is 2/3 of the length, find the sides of the field

MaRussiya [10]

Answer: 88.8 m , 59.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Breadth is $\frac{2}{3}$ of length

Suppose length is x m

So, breadth is $\dfrac{2}{3}x$

Perimeter is given by $P=2(L+W)$

Putting values

$\Rightarrow 296=2(x+\dfrac{2}{3}x)\\\\\Rightarrow 296=2(\dfrac{5}{3}x)\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{296\times 3}{10}=88.8\ m$

Length L is $88.8\ m$

width W is $\frac{2}{3}x=59.2\ m$

A worker is to connect three equal sections of pipe. Each section is 6 2/3 metres in length, as shown below.

Darina [25.2K]

$6\frac{2}{3}\implies 6+\frac{2}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{three times that much}}{3\left( 6+\frac{2}{3} \right)\implies} (3\cdot 6)+3\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)\implies 18+2\implies \underset{meters}{20}$

The graph below shows a quadratic function f(x) and an absolute value function g(x)

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The x-values that are approximate solution of the equation $f(x) = g(x)$ are $x_{1} \approx -3.5$ and $x_{2}\approx 5$ , respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From graph we infer that the x-values that represents a solution to the system of equations corresponds to those values of x in which both functions coincide. As we see, there are two x-values for $f(x) = g(x)$ , which are described below:

$x_{1} \approx -3.5$ and $x_{2}\approx 5$

The x-values that are approximate solution of the equation $f(x) = g(x)$ are $x_{1} \approx -3.5$ and $x_{2}\approx 5$ , respectively.
