Answer:

The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = length & let W = width.

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(L + W)

The area of a rectangle is

A = LW

We know the perimeter and the area, so we substitute those values int he equations above and we switch sides in both equations.

Perimeter: 2(L + W) = 38

Divide both sides by 2:

L + W = 19

Area: LW = 48

We have a system of two equations in two unknowns:

L + W = 19

LW = 48

Solve the first equation for L and substitute it into the second equation.

L = 19 - W

(19 - W)W = 48

19W - W^2 - 48 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1, and rearrange the order of the terms.

W^2 - 19W + 48 = 0

(W - 16)(W - 3) = 0

W - 16 = 0 or W - 3 = 0

W = 16 or W = 3

Use W = 3 to find L

L = 19 - W

L = 19 - 3

L = 16

Answer: The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.

Find the inequality represented by the graph.
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

y>-2/3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the line, we notice that the y-intercept is 3, and the slope is -2/3, so using that information, we find the slope intercept form of the inequality, which is y(?)-2/3x+3 (the question mark is where the inequality symbol will be).

Looking at the line again, we see that it is shaded above (not below), so y is greater than the other side of the inequality.

Looking at the line AGAIN, we see the graph has a dashed line (not solid), so we are not dealing with an "or equal to" inequality.

Therefore, we should use the greater than symbol, creating the answer y>-2/3x+3.

A baker can make 120 cupcakes in 2 hours. At that rate, how many cupcakes can he make in 3.5 hours? *
Valentin [98]

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

first I took 120 and divided by four to show how many cupcakes he can make in thirty minutes (.5 of an hour). this was 30. the reason we divided by four is because in two hours theres four halves.

120÷4=30 for half an hour

30x2=60 this is how many cupcakes he can make in one hour

since we already know how many he makes in two hours we're going to use that

120+60=180 (three hours)

120+60=180 (three hours)180+30 (half an hour) =210
