A rectangular patio has a length of 12 1/2 feet and an area of 103 1/8 square feet. What is the width of the patio?

6 0

Length of the rectangular patio = 12 1/2 feet
      = 25/2 feet
Area of the rectangular patio = 103 1/8 square feet
   = 825/8 square feet
Let us assume the width of the rectangular patio = x feet
Then
Area of the rectangular patio = Length * Width
825/8 = (25/2) * x
25x/2 = 825/8
25x = (825 * 2)/8 feet
25x = 825/4 feet
x = 825/(4 * 25) feet
   = 33/4 feet
   = 8 1/4 feet
So the width of the rectangular patio is 8 1/4 feet. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

Alborosie

Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10

Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.

Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)

2(1 − x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 52(1 − x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5

Solving the equation $2(1-x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5$ we get $x=-\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $2(1-x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5$ and find value of x

Solving:

$2(1-x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5\\2-2x=9+18x+5\\Adding\,\,-18x\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\2-2x-18x=9+5\\Adding\,\,-2\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides\\-20x=14-2\\-20x=12\\x=\frac{12}{-20}\\x=-\frac{3}{5}$

So, solving the equation $2(1-x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5$ we get $x=-\frac{3}{5}$
