W= width
l= length= 4w

Area= lw
16 square yards= lw
substitute l=4w for l
16= (4w)(w)
16= 4w^2
divide both sides by 4
4= w^2
take the square root of 4
2 yards= w

LENGTH
l=4w
l=4(2)
l=8 yards

CHECK:
16= (8)(2)
16= 16

ANSWER: The length is 8 yards and the width is 2 yards.

Hope this helps! :)

The end of a hose was resting on the ground, pointing up an angle. Sal measured the path of the water coming out of the hose and
Travka [436]

Answer:

3.2 feet


Step-by-step explanation:

The equation  f(x)=-0.3x^{2}+2x  shows the height of water [f(x)] and horizontal distance [x].

<em>Given the </em><em>horizontal distance is 4 feet</em><em>, they want to know the height.</em>


<em>Simply put 4 in x of the equation and solve for f(x). So,</em>

<em>f(x)=-0.3(4)^{2}+2(4)\\f(x)=3.2</em>

So, the height of the water was 3.2 feet above the ground.

Jarred sells DVDs. His inventory shows that he has a total of 3,500 DVDs. He has 2,342 more contemporary titles than classic tit
GaryK [48]
Answer: x = 2921, y = 579

Step-by-Step Explanation:

I am assuming that we just have to Solve for ‘x’ and ‘y’.

‘x’ = No. Of Contemporary Titles
‘y’ = No. Of Classic Titles

=> x + y = 3500 (Eq. 1)
=> x - y = 2342 (Eq. 2)

Adding Eq. 1 and Eq. 2, we get :-

2x = 3500 + 2342
2x = 5842
x = 5842/2
=> x = 2921

Therefore, x = 2921

Substitute value of ‘x’ in Eq. 1 :-

x + y = 3500
(2921) + y = 3500
y = 3500 - 2921
=> y = 579

Therefore, y = 579

Hence,
No. Of Contemporary Titles = 2921
No. Of Classic Titles = 579
