Answer:

Width=6.5 cm

Length=12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Express the lengths and widths

Width=w

Length=l, but 1 cm less than twice the width=(2×w)-1=2 w-1

Step 2: Solve for the length and width

A=L×W

where;

A=area of the photograph

L=length of the photograph

W=width of the photograph

In our case;

A=91 cm²

L=2 w-1

W=w

91=(2 w-1)w

2 w²-w=91

2 w²-w-91=0, is a quadratic equation

solve for w

w={-1±√(-1²-4×2×-91)}/(2×2)

w=(-1±27)/4

w=(27-1)/4=6.5, or (-1-27)/4=-8

Take w=6.5 cm

L=(2×6.5)-1=13-1=12 cm

Width=6.5 cm

Length=12 cm

As part of a new fitness plan, Sabir walks on a treadmill at the same speed for 15 minuets every morning. The table shows the ca
Reil [10]
The relationship between Sabir and calories he burns can be modeled using a linear function given by:
y=ax+b
where
a=slope
b=y-intercept
from the graph, the slope will be given as follows:
taking points (3,15) and (12,60)
a=(60-15)/(12-3)=5 calories/minute
thus using the slope and a point (3,15) the equation will be:
a(x1-x)=(y1-y)
plugging the values we obtain:
5(x-3)=y-15
5x-15=y-15
thus
y=5x
thus the equation is:
y=5x

Enter the ordered pair that is the solution to the system of equations graphed below.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

x = 5/2

y = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

if both equations start with 'y=' then set the expressions equal to each other

3/5x - 1 = x - 3

add 1 to each side to get:

3/5x = x - 1

subtract 5/5x from each side:

3/5x - 5/5x = -1

-2/5x = -1

multiply each side by -5/2:

x = 5/2

y = 2 1/2 - 3

y = -1/2
