Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>

Which expression is equivalent to −19y+13 ?
Vikki [24]
The first thing you should do in this case is to write the expression correctly:
 - (1/9) y + (1/3)
 Now, we take out common factor (1/9) obtaining:
 1/9 (-y + 3)
 Let's check:
 1/9 (-y + 3)
 -1/9y + 3/9
 -1/9y + 1/3
 OK
  Answer: 
 An expression equivalent is: 
 1/9 (-y + 3)

If n =270 and (p-hat) =0.43, find the margin of error at a 99% confidence level.. give answer to 3 decimals
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error = z√(p(1-p)/n)

Given

p-hat = 0.43

n = 270

z at 99% confidence interval = 2.576

Substitute

MOE = 2.576√0.43(1-0.43)/270

MOE = 2.576√0.43*0.57/270

MOE = 2.576√0.2451/270

MOE = 2.576*0.030129

MOE = 0.078

Hence the margin og error is 0.078

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5, -1) (15, −9)

1Y - 2Y / 1X - 2X = SLOPE

-1 + 9 / 5 - 15 = 8/-10 = -8/10 = -4/5
