The length of the top of a table is 7 m greater than the width. the area is 78 msquared2. find the dimensions of the table.

Zinaida [17]

Let the width = x
the length = x+7
=> Area equation = length x width = x(x+7) = x^2 +7x = 78
=> x^2+7x -78 = 0
=> (x-6)(x+13)=0
=> x=6 or x=-13(no)
=> the width = 6 m
=> the length = 6+7= 13 m

Answer:

The 5-number summary is maximum= 175, minimum=126, median=150, Q₁=138 and Q₃=160.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is

126, 128, 131, 135, 136, 140, 143, 145, 147, 148, 152, 154, 155, 156, 159, 162, 164, 166, 169, 175

The minimum value of the data is 126 and the maximum value of the data is 175.

Divide the data in two equal parts.

(126, 128, 131, 135, 136, 140, 143, 145, 147, 148), (152, 154, 155, 156, 159, 162, 164, 166, 169, 175)

The median of the data is

$Median=\frac{148+152}{2}=150$

Now divide each parenthesis in two equal parts.

(126, 128, 131, 135, 136), (140, 143, 145, 147, 148), (152, 154, 155, 156, 159), (162, 164, 166, 169, 175)

$Q_1=\frac{136+140}{2}=138$

$Q_3=\frac{159+162}{2}=160.5$

Therefore the 5-number summary is maximum= 175, minimum=126, median=150, Q₁=138 and Q₃=160.5.

What is the value of x in the equation -2/9x=2/5

densk [106]

Answer:

x = (-9)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(-2 x)/9 = 2/5

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Multiply both sides of (-2 x)/9 = 2/5 by -9/2:

(-9 (-2) x)/(2×9) = (-9)/2×2/5

Hint: | Express (-9)/2×(-2)/9 as a single fraction.

(-9)/2×(-2)/9 = (-9 (-2))/(2×9):

(-9 (-2))/(2×9) x = (-9)/2×2/5

Hint: | Express (-9)/2×2/5 as a single fraction.

(-9)/2×2/5 = (-9×2)/(2×5):

(-9 (-2) x)/(2×9) = (-9×2)/(2×5)

Hint: | In (-9 (-2) x)/(2×9), divide -9 in the numerator by 9 in the denominator.

(-9)/9 = (9 (-1))/9 = -1:

(-2-1 x)/2 = (-9×2)/(2×5)

Hint: | In (-(-2) x)/2, divide -2 in the numerator by 2 in the denominator.

(-2)/2 = (2 (-1))/2 = -1:

--1 x = (-9×2)/(2×5)

Hint: | Multiply all instances of -1 in -(-x).

(-1)^2 = 1:

x = (-9×2)/(2×5)

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (-9×2)/(2×5).

(-9×2)/(2×5) = 2/2×(-9)/5 = (-9)/5:

Answer: x = (-9)/5
