Martin is covering his bathroom floor with square tiles. When he gets to the end of a row of tiles, he needs to cut the length o

f the last tile by 4 inches in order to cover the remaining area.
The area of the new tile is given by the quadratic expression below, where x represents the side length, in inches, of the original tile.

x(x-4)

Determine which polynomial represents each component of this situation.

(x - 4)
4x
x2
x
"area of original tile"
"the length of the new tile"
"the width of the new tile"
"the area removed from the tile"

All squares are equal sides.Let X be the side of a square.\\Area of square,A = x^2

Here a tile is a square of side length 'x'. The following  polynomial represents,

(x - 4) represents "the width of the new tile" (because 4 inches cut from the tile)

4x represents "the area removed from the tile" (since one side of removed tile is 'x' and other is 4 inches.)

x2  represents "area of original tile" of side equal to 'x'

x represents "the length of the new tile" (since length of new tile  is not reduced. Length =x and breadth is x-4

Rus_ich [418]

<em><u>Lee sold 40 magazines</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation Model:

Let m be the number of magazines Lee sold.

150%-130%=20%, so if 0.2m=8 then m=40

Let me show another way: In the image above 20% is equal to 8 so if we use 8 and 20% and try to reach our way up to 100% (How much Lee sold in total) then we will get our answer.

20%=8

40%=16

60%=24

80%=32

100%=40

Therefore Lee sold 40 magazines.

Hope that makes sense! If you have any more questions or need further clarification then please comment down below or message me! Good luck!

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

  y = one-half x + three-fourths

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2-point form of the equation of a line can be used for starters.

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

  y = (11/12 -19/20)/(1/3 -2/5)(x -2/5) +19/20 . . . . fill in given values

  y = ((55 -57)/60)/((5 -6)/15)(x -8/20) +19/20 . . simplify a little

  y = (-1/30)/(-2/30)(x -8/20) +19/20 . . . . . . . . . . and a little more ...

  y = 1/2x -4/20 +19/20

  y = 1/2x +15/20

  y = 1/2x +3/4 . . . . line in slope-intercept form
