Answer:

It will take 11 weeks of saving to buy the bicycle

Step-by-step explanation:

The Total amount he has saved for the bicycle can be expressed as;

Total amount saved=Initial amount he has+(savings per week×number of weeks)

where;

Initial amount he has=$140

Savings per week=$25

Number of weeks=w

Total amount saved=s(w)

replacing;

s(w)=140+(25×w)

The equation to get the total amount he has saved is;

s(w)=25 w+140....equation 1

Equation 1 above is a linear equation which can be written in the form;

y=mx+c

where;

y=s(w)

m=slope=25

x=the variable=w

c=y-intercept:the value of s(w), when w=o

s(w)=(25×0)+140=140

a). slope=25, y-intercept=140

b). Linear function is one of the form y=mx+c as explained above;

In our case, the linear function will be:

s(w)=25 w+140

c). Now that we have the function s(w)=25 w+140

In order to save to buy the bicycle;

we equate

s(w)=415 and solve for w;

415=25 w+140

25 w=(415-140)

25 w=275

w=275/25

w=11

It will take 11 weeks of saving to buy the bicycle

A rectangular flying carpet is 1 1/2 m wide and 2 m long what is the area of the carpet
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Hi there! :)

<u>Answer:</u>

The area of the carpet is <u>3m²</u>.


Step-by-step explanation:

First off, the formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is this: A = L × W

Where "A" is the area, "L" the length and "W" the width.

Now that you have that, replace all the information you know in the equation in order to find the value of "A", which is what we are looking for:

- Just keep in mind that 1 1/2 is the same thing as 1.5

- The term "wide" is used to give the "width"

- The term "long" is used to give the "length"


A = L × W

A = 2 × 1.5

<u>A = 3</u>


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

How do you calculate the area of triangle DEF?
cricket20 [7]
First you need to solve for angle F then you can use 1/2acSinB. If you haven't done this you can also use the Pythagoras theorem and solve for the unknown side once you do that you can just use 1/2 b*h
