A worker is installing blue and white square tiles in a kitchen. Blue tiles have different lengths than white tiles. A row of 8

blue tiles and 16 white tiles has a length of 39 inches. A row of 40 blue tiles and 8 white tiles has a length of 42 inches. Write a system of equations that represents in inches the relationship between the length of a blue tile and the length of a white tile.

8x+16y = 39 and 40x+8y = 42 are the system of equations that represents in inches the relationship between the length of a blue tile and the length of a white tile.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Let 'x' be the inches of a blue tile.

Let 'y' be the inches of a white tile.

8x+16y = 39  -------(1)

40x+8y = 42  -------(2)

Multiply eqn(2) by 2 and subtract it from eqn(1)

    8x+16y = 39

(-) <u>80x+16y = 84</u>

  <u>-72x = -45       </u>

⇒ x = -45/-72

⇒ x = 5/8

∴ Blue tile is 5/8 inches.

substitute x=5/8 in eqn(1)

⇒ 8(5/8) + 16y = 39

⇒ 16y = 39-5

⇒ y =34/16

⇒ y = 17/8

∴ White tile is 17/8 inches.

How do you Change 0.3 to a fraction?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimals can be written in fraction form. To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal number over its place value. For example, in 0.6, the six is in the tenths place, so we place 6 over 10 to create the equivalent fraction, 6/10. If needed, simplify the fraction.

Which equation will help you solve this problem?
Anna35 [415]
Think about it, 64 band members split equally into 8 rows. Sounds like division, right? If we're going to split them into each row, that would be eight members for each of the eight rows. 

So the answer is that 8 members was in each row.

State one form of the Law of Cosines and provide a trick for writing the other two forms and explain when Law of Cosines should
Yuki888 [10]

Solving for <em>Angles</em>

\displaystyle \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} = cos∠C \\ \frac{a^2 - b^2 + c^2}{2ac} = cos∠B \\ \frac{-a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{2bc} = cos∠A

* Do not forget to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

Solving for <em>Edges</em>

\displaystyle b^2 + a^2 - 2ba\:cos∠C = c^2 \\ c^2 + a^2 - 2ca\:cos∠B = b^2 \\ c^2 + b^2 - 2cb\:cos∠A = a^2

You would use this law under <em>two</em> conditions:

  • One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>third edge</em>
  • ALL three edges defined

* Just make sure to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

_____________________________________________

Now, JUST IN CASE, you would use the Law of Sines under <em>three</em> conditions:

  • Two angles and one edge defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second edge</em>
  • One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second angle</em>
  • ALL three angles defined [<em>of which does not occur very often, but it all refers back to the first bullet</em>]

* I HIGHLY suggest you keep note of all of this significant information. You will need it going into the future.

I am delighted to assist you at any time.
