Answer:
7, -7
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-6.5= 42.5 add 6.5 to both sides
x^2= 49
The square root of 49 is 7 and -7.
Let's call x1: The rate per hour of the number one mechanic. X2: The rate per hour of mechanic number two. The first thing you should do is identify the system of equations that best describes the problem. In this case it is a system of 2 equations with two unknowns which when solved gives a total of x1 = 85 $ / h and x2 = 50 $ / h. Attached solution.
Unless you just want to give money to the ice cream truck, for 0 items, you will pay 0.
Since the price of each item is $0.77, for one item you will pay $0.77. (Is that a surprise?)
Then for two items, you will pay $0.77 for each one, or $0.77 + 0.77 = $1.54. You can also compute this by making use of the fact that multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition. The price can be found by $0.77×2 = $1.54 = f(2).
Similarly, for 3 items, you can add $0.77 three times: $0.77 + 0.77 + 0.77 = f(3), or you can use multiplication: $0.77×3 = $2.31 = f(3).
a) Our table looks like
(x, f(x))
(0, 0)
(1, 0.77)
(2, 1.54)
(3, 2.31)
b) By now, I'm sure you have realized that to find the price of x items, you multiply 0.77 by x.
f(x) = 0.77x
Each can of green beans costs ($3.00/5) = 60¢ at the
village market, and ($6.10/10) = 61¢ at Sam's Club.
If you're watching every penny, then that MIGHT be enough
of a difference to make you decide to buy your beans at the
village market, but not necessarily.
If, say, the village market is farther away from you, or if there are
other things you're going to get from Sam's anyway, then you
should buy your beans there too.
Answer:
Length=12 inches Width=6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
X can stand for the width. 2x can stand for the length since it is twice the width. The perimeter would then equal 6x. 6x is equal to 36. Divide by 6 to isolate x. X equals 6 inches. So twice the width would be 12 inches.
