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

Prove the following statement.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

You can prove this statement as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

An odd integer is a number of the form 2k+1 where k\in \mathbb{Z}. Consider the following cases.

Case 1. If k is even we have: (2k+1)^{2}=(2(2s)+1)^{2}=(4s+1)^{2}=16s^2+8s+1=8(2s^2+s)+1.

If we denote by m=2s^2+2 we have that (2k+1)^{2}=8m+1.

Case 2. if k is odd we have: (2k+1)^{2}=(2(2s+1)+1)^{2}=(4s+3)^{2}=16s^2+24s+9=16s^{2}+24s+8+1=8(2s^{2}+3s+1)+1.

If we denote by m=2s^{2}+24s+1 we have that (2k+1)^{2}=8m+1

This result says that the remainder when we divide the square of any odd integer by 8 is 1.

A student says that a coordinate grid under a dilation with the center at the origin and scale factor 2 does not change the grid
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Dilation changes (x,y) values not the grid or coordinate plane. Basically, dilating a graph or a coordinate grid means the original coordinates you may have had will be changed with the dilation.  For example, a triangle plotted had its original area of 26 dilated to an area of 58.

A grocery store gives away a $10 gift card to every 25th customer and a $20 gift card to every 60th customer. a. Which customer
steposvetlana [31]
To find the answer you need to find the common factor of numbers 25 and 60

25,50,75,100,125,150,175,200,225,250,275,300

60,120,180,240,300

The 300th customer will receive both cards, and a total of $220 and 17 gift cards were given away.
