A = L * W
A = 54
L = 2W + 3

54 = W(2W + 3)
54 = 2W^2 + 3W
2W^2 + 3W - 54 = 0
(2W - 9)(W + 6) = 0

2W - 9 = 0
2W = 9
W = 9/2
W = 4.5 <== width

W + 6 = 0
W = -6....it wont be this one because it is negative

L = 2W + 3
L = 2(4.5) + 3
L = 9 + 3
L = 12 <==length

horrorfan [7]
Tara's Bedroom: A = lw
                           A =  (9)(8)
                           A = 72 ft²

Jody's Bedroom: A = lw
                           A = (7)(10)
                          A = 70 ft²

Tara's bedroom has the greater area than Jody's bedroom.

Please help ASAP!!! Thank you so much!!! Just want confirm my answer it is y=150x-50. A concession stand at a football game took
jekas [21]

Answer: You have the correct answer. It is y = 150x-50

Nice work on getting the correct answer. For anyone curious, the explanation is below.

=============================================

x = number of hours the stand is open

y = amount earned

(1,100) is from the fact the stand is open 1 hour and earns $100

(3,400) is due to the stand earning $400 after 3 hours.

Slope Formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (400-100)/(3-1)

m = 300/2

m = 150 is the slope, and it is the amount earned per hour. It is the rate of change.

Use m = 150 and (x,y) = (1,100) to find the value of b as shown below

y = mx+b

100 = 150(1) + b

100 = 150 + b

100-150 = b

-50 = b

b = -50 is the y intercept and it is the starting amount they earn. The negative earning indicates that they spent $50 to set up the stand, which is the cost of buying the food, equipment, etc.

So we have m = 150 as the slope and b =  -50 as the y intercept.

Therefore, y = mx+b turns into y = 150x-50.

-------

As a check, plugging in x = 1 should lead to y = 100

y = 150x-50

y = 150(1)-50

y = 150-50

y = 100 and indeed it does

The same should be the case with (3,400). Plug in x = 3 and we should get y = 400

y = 150x-50

y = 150(3)-50

y = 450-50

y = 400, we have confirmed the answer by showing that the line y = 150x-50 goes through the two points (1,100) and (3,400).

If there are 52 cards in a deck with four suits (hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades), how many ways can you select 5 diamonds a
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

12C5 *(12C3) = 792*220 =174240 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that we have 12 cards of each denomination (hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades) because 12*4= 52

First let's find the number of ways in order to select 5 diamonds. We can use the combinatory formula since the order for this case no matter. The general formula for combinatory is given by:

nCx = \frac{n!}{x! (n-x)!}

So then 12 C5 would be equal to:

12C5 = \frac{12!}{5! (12-5)!}=\frac{12!}{5! 7!} = \frac{12*11*10*9*8*7!}{5! 7!}= \frac{12*11*10*9*8}{5*4*3*2*1}=792

So we have 792 was in order to select 5 diamonds from the total of 12

Now in order to select 3 clubs from the total of 12 we have the following number of ways:

12C3 = \frac{12!}{3! 9!}=\frac{12*11*10*9!}{3! 9!} =\frac{12*11*10}{3*2*1}=220

So then the numbers of ways in order to select 5 diamonds and 3 clubs are:

(12C5)*(12C3) = 792*220 =174240 ways
