Answer: length = 8 units

Width = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by L

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by W

The sum of 5 times the width of a rectangle and twice its length is 26 units. This means that

5W + 2L = 26 - - - - - - - - 1

The difference of 15 times the width and three times the length is 6 units. It means that

15W - 3L = 6 - - - - - - - - 2

The system equations are equation 1 and equation 2.

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

15W + 6L = 78

30W - 6L = 12

Adding both equations,

45W = 90

W = 90/45 = 2

15W - 3L = 6

15×2 - 3L = 6

-3L = 6 - 30 = - 24

L = - 24/ -3 = 8

Find the value of $x$ so that the ratios are equivalent.<br><br> x:5/2 and 8:10
Scrat [10]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here what we need is that the ratios be equal, which is:

x:(5/2) = 8:10 or, what is the same:

x/(5/2) = 8/10

Lets pick the left term x/(5/2) and multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 to eliminate the fraction on the denominator:

2x/2(5/2) = 2x/5

Now, we would like to make a 10 appear on the denominator. As we already have a five we need to multiply numerator and denominator by the num that, multiplied by 5 gives as 10, this is 2:

2(2x)/2(5) = 4x / 10

So, we transformed x/(5/2)  in 4x/10, and both are the same, so we can replace it on our first equation:

4x/10 = 8/10

As both denominators are equal, we can concentrate only in numerators:

4x = 8

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 2

So, for x=2 both ratios are equivalents.

What is the domain of the following parabola?
Montano1993 [528]
The domain of any function is the set of the values of x that will make the function correct. If we try to extend indefinitely the parabola with specified attributes above on the plane where it is drawn, the parabola will expand. This allows all the real numbers be the x-values. Thus, the answer is letter "C. All real numbers"
