Answer:
infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
[A] It will take 24 minutes for Joe and Charmaine to meet again at the starting line.
[B] Joe will complete 2 laps
[C] Charmaine will complete 3 laps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor two numbers 12 and 8:
12 = 2×2×3
8 = 2×2×2
Find LCM of 12 and 8:
Lcm of 12 and 8 - 2×2×3×2 = 24
Therefore,
[A] How much time does it take for them to meet again at the starting line?
It will take 24 minutes for Joe and Charmaine to meet again at the starting line.
[B] How many laps does Joe complete
Joe will complete 2 laps
[C] How many laps does Charmaine complete?
Charmaine will complete 3 laps.

Answer:
17ft wide
Step-by-step explanation:
The room is 9 by 19ft
Length (x) = 19ft
Width(y) = 9ft
Area of the rug = 119ft^2
x*y = 119 ...........(1)
For the second equation we will make sure the strip around the room is uniform in size
9 - x = 19 - y
-x = 19 - 9 -y
-x = 10 - y
x = y - 10 ..........(2)
Put the value x in equation 1
(y - 10)y = 119
y^2 - 10y = 119
y^2 - 10y - 119 = 0
a = 1, b = -10, c= -119
Use quadratic formula to solve the equation
y = (-b +/-√b^2 -4ac) / 2a
y = [-(-10) +/- √ (-10)^2 - 4(1)(-119)] /2(1)
y = (10 +/- √100 + 476) /2
y = (10+/-√ 576 ) / 2
y = (10 +/- 24) / 2
y = (10 + 24) /2 or (10 - 24)/2
y = 34/2 or -14/2
y = 17 or -7
y = 17 ft
Recall that x = y - 10
x = 17 - 10
x = 7ft
