Answer:

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the elephant and y the acrobat

elephant has 4 legs and acrobat 2

4x+2y=40

x+y=15  ⇒x=15-y

substitute for x in the equation:

4(15-y)+2y=40

60-4y+2y=40

-2y=40-60

y=-20/-2

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

number of elephant=15-10=5 elephants

The length of a rectangle is 3” more than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 150 in^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

ANSWER

ABOUT THIS TUTOR ›

We know that Area = Length x Width

in this case, L = 2W + 3 and A = 150in2

so, 150in2 = W x (2w + 3)

150in2 = 2W2 + 3W

rearranging, 2W2 + 3W - 150in2 = 0

we need to use the quadratic formula to solve this equation

that formula is [-b±(√b2 -4ac)]/2a

a = 2, b = 3, c = -150

inserting those values, we get [-3±(√32 -4•2•-150)]/2•2

which becomes (-3±√1209)/4

we get (-3 ± 34.771)/4

we can discard the negative value, because no length can be negative

so, W ≅ 7.942 inches

then L = 2W + 3 ≅ 18.886 inches

Proof: 7.942in x 18.886in ≅ 149.99

HOPE IT'S HELPFUL

THANK YOU
