Answer:

rose$7  shrub $11

Step-by-step explanation:

5r+3s=68

1r+14s=161

I will multiply the second by -5 to eliminate r variable

5r+  3s= 68

-5r- 70s = -805

        -67s  = -737

            Divide both by -67

          s= 11

14*11=154

161-154 =7

      5*7 + 3*11 = 68

    35+33 = 68

       7+ 14*11 = 161

7+154 = 161

. Shanice is making a garden. The area of the garden is 24 ft2. Use the following shape and information to find the base (6−4) a
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The base and height  of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garden is, <em>A</em> = 24 ft².

The base height of the garden are:

base (<em>b</em>) = 6x - 4

height (<em>h</em>) = x + 3

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

A=\frac{1}{2}\times b \times h\\\\24=\frac{1}{2}\times (6x-4) \times (x+3)\\\\48=6x^{2}+18x-4x-12\\\\6x^{2}+14x-60=0\\\\3x^{2}+7x-30=0\\

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

Compute the roots of the quadratic equation as follows:

x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{ 2a }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{14^2 - 4(3)(-30)}}{ 2(3) }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{556}}{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ -14 }{ 6 } \pm \frac{2\sqrt{139}\, }{ 6 }\\x = -\frac{ 7}{  3 } \pm \frac{ \sqrt{139}\, }{  3 }\\x = 1.59661\\x\approx 1.60

The value of base and height are:

\text{base}=6x-4=(6\times 1.60)-4=5.60\ \text{ft}\\\\\text{height}=x+3=1.60+3=4.60\ \text{ft}

Thus, the base and height  of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8}}

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle has a small square, which represents a right angle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Where <em>a</em> and <em>b </em> are the legs of the triangle and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse.

In this triangle, 7 and √15 are the legs, because these sides make up the right angle. The unknown side is the hypotenuse, because it is opposite the right angle. So, we know two values:

a= 7 \\b= \sqrt{15}

Substitute these values into the formula.

(7)^2+(\sqrt{15})^2=c^2

Solve the exponents.

  • (7)²= 7*7=49

49+ (\sqrt{15})^2=c^2

  • (√15)²=√15*√15=15

49+15=c^2

Add.

64=c^2

Since we are solving for c, we must isolate the variable. It is being squared and the inverse of a square is the square root. Take the square root of both sides.

\sqrt{64}=\sqrt{c^2} \\\sqrt{64}= c\\8=c

The third side length is <u>8.</u>

Need urgent help in mathematics!! Will mark brainliest!!!!
Nataly [62]

₇P₅ is a permutation. you can find this setting in the statistics menu of your scientific calculator (i think).

If you don't have a scientific calculator, you can use the following formula:

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!}

₇P₅  = \frac{7!}{(7 - 5)!}

     = \frac{7}{2!}

     = \frac{7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2!}{2!}

     = 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3

    = 2520

Answer: C
