The area of a couple's rectangular living room is 40 sq meters. The length of the room is 3 meters more than the width. What is

the width in meters?

the rectangular living room is calculated as length * width

The area is given to be equal to 40 sq. meters (area = 40 sq. meters)

Let the width = x meters

Length = X+3 meters

Area = Length * Width

40 = X * (X+3)

40 = X^2 + 3X

x^2 + 3x -40 =0

We solve this quadratic equation

x^2 + 8x - 5x -40 =0

x*(x+8) -5 *(x+8) =0

(x+8) (x-5) =0

So x = 5 or x= -8

Width  cannot be negative, so we reject x =-8

So x = 5 is the answer

Width of the room = 5 meters

Bob is hiking down a 15-mile country trail. He could hike at 5 mph for the first 2 hours and then go the rest of the way at 3 mp
mash [69]

Answer:

1) 11/3 hours or about 3.67 hours.

2) 3.75 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s determine the time it will take for Bob to hike for each of the options.

Option 1) Hiking 5mph for 2 hours, then 3mph.

The total distance is 15 miles.

If Bob hiked 5mph for 2 hours, then after two hours, Bob would’ve covered 5(2)=10 miles out of 15.

Therefore, 15-10 or 5 miles still needs to be covered.

To find how long that will take, we can simply divide the distance by the rate.

We are now going at a rate of 3mph. So, 5/3 is about 1.67 hours.

So, it will take another 1.67 hours to complete the hike.

So, the total time it will take is 2+1.67 or abou 3.67 hours. More specifically, it will be 2+5/3 or 11/3 hours.

Option 2) Hiking 4mph the entire way.

The total distance is 15 miles.

If Bob hiked 4mph the entire way, to find how long it will take, we can simply divide the total distance by the rate.

So: 15/4=3.75.

Therefore, it will take 3.75 hours to hike the entire distance going 4mph.

1. Consider the following hypotheses:
Andrej [43]

Answer:

See deductions below

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

a) p(y)∧q(y) for some y (Existencial instantiation to H1)

b) q(y) for some y (Simplification of a))

c) q(y) → r(y) for all y (Universal instatiation to H2)

d) r(y) for some y (Modus Ponens using b and c)

e) p(y) for some y (Simplification of a)

f) p(y)∧r(y) for some y (Conjunction of d) and e))

g) ∃x (p(x) ∧ r(x)) (Existencial generalization of f)

2)

a) ¬C(x) → ¬A(x) for all x (Universal instatiation of H1)

b) A(x) for some x (Existencial instatiation of H3)

c) ¬(¬C(x)) for some x (Modus Tollens using a and b)

d) C(x) for some x (Double negation of c)

e) A(x) → ∀y B(y) for all x (Universal instantiation of H2)

f)  ∀y B(y) (Modus ponens using b and e)

g) B(y) for all y (Universal instantiation of f)

h) B(x)∧C(x) for some x (Conjunction of g and d, selecting y=x on g)

i) ∃x (B(x) ∧ C(x)) (Existencial generalization of h)

3) We will prove that this formula leads to a contradiction.

a) ∀y (P (x, y) ↔ ¬P (y, y)) for some x (Existencial instatiation of hypothesis)

b) P (x, y) ↔ ¬P (y, y) for some x, and for all y (Universal instantiation of a)

c) P (x, x) ↔ ¬P (x, x) (Take y=x in b)

But c) is a contradiction (for example, using truth tables). Hence the formula is not satisfiable.
