Given the area, find the dimension of a rectangle

Mathematics

Answer:

Length  L = 17 ft.

Width   W = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L * W

Area = 68 ft²

W = 2L - 30

Area = L * W

68 = L * (2L - 30)

68 = 2L² - 30L

2L² - 30L -68 = 0     ( solve L by using quadratic equation)

        -(-30) ± √ -30² - 4 * 2 * (-68)

L = -------------------------------------------

                       2 * 2

L = 17 ;  L= - 2   therefore use L = 17 ft.

<u>solve for W:</u>

W = 2L - 30

W = 2(17) - 30

W = 34 - 30

W = 4 ft

check:

Area = L * W

68 = 17 * 4

68 = 68  ----- OK

Answer:

Length=17

Width=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Length=x

Width=2x-30

x(2x-30)=68

2x²-30x=68

2x²-30x-68=0

2(x²-15x-34)=0

2(x+2)(x-17)=0

So x equals either 17 or -2.  Since it can’t be -2, x=17

Length=x=17

Width=2x-30=2*17-30=34-30=4

Answer: OPTION B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following System of equations:

\left \{ {{3x-5y=19} \atop {x+y=1}} \right.

You can use the Elimination Method to solve it. The steps are:

1. You can mutliply the second equation by -3.

2. Then you must add the equations.

3. Solve for the variable "y".

Then:

\left \{ {{3x-5y=19} \atop {-3x-3y=-3}} \right.\\.....................\\-8y=16\\\\y=\frac{16}{-8}\\\\y=-2

4. Now that you know the value of the variable "y", you must substitute it into any original equation.

5. The final step is to solve for "x" in order to find its value.

Then:

x+(-2)=1\\\\x=1+2\\\\x=3

Therefore, the solution is:

(3,-2)

Find X.
seropon [69]

Answer:

x = 118 degrees approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the measure of the angle marked x

We shall use the side facing it and apply the cosine rule

The side facing the angle measures 90

Thus, we have it that;

90^2 = 55^2 + 50^2 - 2(50)(55) cos X

2575 = - -5,500 cos X

X = cos^-1(-2575/5,500)

X = 118 degrees approximately

Manuel bought 2kg of jelly beans and 2kg of gummy worms for a total of $26. Danny bought 2kg of jelly beans and 3kg of gummy wor
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Jelly beans: $6 for 1 kg

Gummy worms: $7 for 1 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we need to find the cost of 1kg of jelly beans and gummy worms.

To do this, make equations for both scenarios and solve:

2j + 2g = 26

2j + 3g = 33

Turn the bottom equation negative, as we will first solve for gummy worms (g).

2j + 2g = 26

-2j - 3g = -33

Solve:

-g = -7

Divide both sides by -1.

g = 7

We now know that gummy worms cost $7 for 1 kg

To solve for jellybeans (j), plug in 7 to g in one of the equations and solve:

2j + 2(7) = 26

2j + 14 = 26

Subtract 14 from both sides.

2j = 12

Divide both sides by 2.

j = 6

Jellybeans cost $6 for 1 kg.

Check answer by plugging in values to one of the equations:

2(6) + 2(7) = 26

12 + 14 = 26

26 = 26
