Remark
This is a very interesting question. Draw a line from the origin to where the upper right vertex of the square touches the line. That line has the property that the its equation is y = x. So the "solution" to the point of intersection is the solution of the two equations.
y = x (1)
3x + 4y = 12 (2)
Put x in for y in equation 2
3x + 4x = 12
7x = 12
x = 12/7
x = 1.714
y = 1.714
Problem A
<em><u>x intercept</u></em>
The x intercept occurs when y = 0
3x + 4(0) = 12
3x = 12 Divide by 3
x = 12/3
x = 4
the x intercept = (4,0)
<em><u>y intercept</u></em>
The y intercept occurs when x =0
3(0) + 4y = 12
4y = 12
y = 12/4
y = 3
y intercept = (0,3)
Problem B
x and y both equal 1.714 so they are also the length of the square's side.
Problem C
See solution above. x =y is the key fact.
x = y = 1.714
Answer:
Kevin's weekly sales will have to be worth more than $4000 in order for Dollar Deal to pay more.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dollar Deal offers $8/h plus 10% commission.
If he spends x hours, then offer after x hours and s amount from sales is;
8x + 10%s
This can be rewritten as; 8x + 0.1s
Now, Great Discounts offers $18/h with no commission.
Thus after 8 hours for 5 days, total number of hours = 40 hours.
Thus, great discounts offer = 18 × 40 = $720
Now, dollar deal will offer; 8(40) + 0.1s = 320 + 0.1s
Thus, for dollar deal to pay more weekly, then;
320 + 0.1s > 720
0.1s > 720 - 320
0.1s > 400
s > 400/0.1
s > 4000
Answer:
so B is the answer 
Step-by-step explanation:
Length (L): 4w + 1
width (w): w
Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w
62 = 2(4w + 1) + 2(w)
62 = 8w + 2 + 2w
62 = 10w + 2
60 = 10w
6 = w
Length: L = 4w + 1 → 4(6) + 1 → 24 + 1 → 25
Answer: 6 meters x 25 meters
When you calculate that all up you get 212 <span />
