Let's say that number is hmmm "a"

now.. twice "a" is 2*a or 2a
4 less than that is " 2a - 4"

now, the product of those two fellows is 286, well ok

a( 2a - 4) = 286

thus    

\bf a(2a-4)=286\implies 2a^2-4a^2=286\implies a^2-2a^2=143
\\\\\\
a^2-2a^2-143=0\implies (a-13)(a+11)=0
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
a-13=0\implies &a=13\\
a+11=0\implies &\boxed{a=-11}
\end{cases}

The functions f(x) and g(x) are described below: f(x) = 7x + 9 g(x) = 7x −4 The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting down the g
Slav-nsk [51]
Correct Answer:
Option A

Solution:

f(x) = 7x + 9
g(x) = 7x - 4

We can re-write g(x) as:

g(x) = 7x + 9 - 13

Since 7x+9 is equal to f(x), we can write:

g(x) = f(x) - 13

This relation shows that g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) 13 units vertically down. So the correct answer is option A.

What is the total length of nine pieces of chain each measuring 13 yards, 1 foot, 5 inches? Convert the answer to larger units w
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: The total length of nine pieces of chain is 121.248 yards.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of each chain = 13 yards, 1 foot, 5 inches

As we know that

1\ inch=\frac{1}{12}\ foot\\\\5\ inches=\frac{5}{12}=0.4167\ foot\\\\\text{Total foot = 1+0.4167 =1.4167 foot}\\\\And\\\\1\ yard=3\ foot\\\\1\ foot=\frac{1}{3}\ yard\\\\1.4167\ foot=\frac{1.4167}{3}=0.472\ yards\\\\So,\\\\13\ yards+0.472=13.472\ yards

On Converting it into larger units, we get 13.472 yards

Now, Number of pieces of chain =9

Length of 9 pieces is given by

13.472\times 9=121.248\ yards

Hence, Nine pieces  of chain are 121.248 yards long .
