11t=120(12)

11t=1440

t=1440/11

However t is in hours and we want to know days so:

d=(1440/11)/24

d=1440/264

d=60/11

d=5 5/11 days<span>is a mixed number 5+5/11 days. Approximately 5.45 days....</span>

Find the solutions to 6x^2- 54x = 0

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

A. x = 9

D. x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$6x^{2} -54x=0$

so

$a=6\\b=-54\\c=0$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-(-54)(+/-)\sqrt{-54^{2}-4(6)(0)}} {2(6)}$

$x=\frac{54(+/-)54} {12}$

$x=\frac{54(+)54} {12}=9$

$x=\frac{54(-)54} {12}=0$

therefore

The solutions are x=0 and x=9

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units

olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=x*y$

$A=64\ units^{2}$

so

$x*y=64$ --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

<u>case 1)</u> For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/64$

$y=1\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

<u>case 2)</u> For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/32$

$y=2\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

<u>case 3)</u> For x=16 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/16$

$y=4\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

<u>case 4)</u> For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/30$

$y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

<u>case 5)</u> For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/40$

$y=1.60\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

<u>case 6)</u> For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/60$

$y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 6
