In the equation of a straight line: y = mx + c, slope is denoted

by the letter m.

$\it -2y = x-1|_{:(-2)} \Rightarrow y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2} \Rightarrow m = -\dfrac{1}{2}$

The slope is negative one half or -1/2

The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width the area is 744 square centimeters find length and width of rectangle

andrezito [222]

Answer:

$l=31\ cm\\\\w=24\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the area of a rectangle is:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

You know that the area of that rectangle is:

$A=744\ cm^2$

And, according to the exercise, its lenght is 7 more than its width; then:

$l=w+7$

Then, you can make the corresponding substitution into the formula $A=lw$ :

$744=(w+7)w$

Simplify:

$744=w^2+7w\\\\w^2+7w-744=0$

Factor the equation. Find two numbers whose sum is 7 and whose product is -744. These are 31 and -24.

Then, you get:

$(w-24)(w+31)=0\\\\w_1=24\\\\w_2=-31$

The width of the rectangle is the positive value:

$w=24\ cm$

Then, the lenght is:

$l=24+7\\\\l=31\ cm$

It x, y, and z are positive intergers and 3x = 4y = 7z, then the least possible value of x + y + z is???

Dmitry [639]

$3x = 4y = 7z \\ \Rightarrow \begin{cases}3x - 4y = 0 \\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3x = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x = \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3( \frac{4}{3}y) = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x = \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 4y= 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x = \frac{4}{3} y\\ y \\ z = \frac{4}{7}y \end{cases} \\ x,y,z\: are\: intergers\Rightarrow y=LCM(3,7)=21\Rightarrow x = 28,z = 12 \\ \Rightarrow x + y + z = 61$
