Write in slope intercept form, then convert to standard form Slope=1, y-intercept=-3

Viktor [21]

Slope = 1

y-intercept = -3, which can be expressed as (0,-3).

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y -(-3) = 1(x - 0)

y + 3 = x

The slope-intercept form is

y = x - 3.

The standard form is Ax + By = C.

y = x - 3

3 = x - y

Done.

Complete the work to find the dimensions of the rectangle. x(x – 3) = 10 x2 – 3x = 10 x2 – 3x – 10 = 10 – 10 (x + 2)(x – 5) = 0

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

$Length =5$

$Width = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length =x$

$Width = x -3$

$Area = 10$

$x(x-3) =10$

See comment for missing part of the question

Required

Complete the expression to determine the dimension of a rectangle

We have:

$x(x-3) =10$

Open bracket

$x^2 -3x = 10$

Equate to 0

$x^2 -3x - 10 =0$

Expand

$x^2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0$

Factorize

$x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) = 0$

Factor out x + 2

$(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0$

Solve for x

$x - 5 = 0$ or $x + 2 = 0$

$x = 5$ or $x = -2$

The value of x cannot be negative

So:

$x = 5$

Recall that:

$Length = x$

$Width = x - 3$

So:

$Length =5$

$Width = 2$ ---- i.e. 5 - 3

The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 5. If 5 is subtracted from the numerator and 4 is added to

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

7/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

=x/x+5.

x-5/x+5+4=⅛

x-5/x+9=⅛

x-5=⅛(x+9)

x-5=⅛x+1⅛

x-⅛x=1⅛+5

⅞x=49/8

7x=49

x=7

thus the initial fraction is x/x+5= <u>7</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>

A rational number is a fraction
