The area of the rectangular is expressed in the formula A = l*w where l is the length and w is the width. from the first satement, l = 2 + w; then A = (2+w)*w = 2w + w^2. If A is equal to 168, then w should be equal to 12 feet and l is equal to 14 feet. Hence the width due to the border limits is 12- 2*2 equal to 8 feet

On one day a pet store sells 2 birds 6 gerbils 3 fish and 3 hamsters whats the data and relative frequency as a percent?

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Birds $F_b=14.3\%$

Gerbils $F_g=42.9\%$

Fish $F_f=21.4\%$

Hamsters $F_h=21.4\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sales

Number of birds $n_b=2$

Number of gerbils $n_g=6$

Number of fish $n_f=3$

Number of hamsters $n_h=3$

Generally the frequency for birds $F_b$ is mathematically given b

$F_b=\frac{n_b}{n}*100$

$F_b=\frac{2}{14}*100$

$F_b=14.3\%$

Generally the frequency for Gerbils $F_g$ is mathematically given b

$F_g=\frac{n_g}{n}*100$

$F_g=\frac{6}{14}*100$

$F_g=42.9\%$

Generally the frequency for fish $F_f$ is mathematically given b

$F_f=\frac{n_f}{n}*100$

$F_f=\frac{3}{14}*100$

$F_f=21.4\%$

Generally the frequency for fish $F_h$ is mathematically given b

$F_h=\frac{n_h}{n}*100$

$F_h=\frac{3}{14}*100$

$F_h=21.4\%$

How many solutions does the following equation have?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:
Exactly one solution

Explanation:
The first step we need to take to find the answer is to find the value of y.

7(y+3)=5y+8
Expand the parentheses
7y+21=5y+8
Subtract both sides by 21
7y+21-21=5y+8-21
7y=5y-13
Subtract both sides by 5y
7y-5y=5y-13-5y
2y=-13
Divide both sides by 2
2y/2=-13/2
y=-6.5

Now, we plug y back into the original equation.

7(y+3)=5y+8
7(-6.5+3)=5(-6.5)+8
Expand the parentheses
-45.5+21=-32.5+8
-24.5=-24.5

Because both sides of the equation is equal and the equation is true, we can conclude that the equation has one solution.

I hope this helps!
