Answer:

The rectangle is 16*18

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is length * width and the perimeter is 2 times length * width

A = l*w

P = 2(l+w)

Replacing A and P

288 = l*w

68 = 2(l+w) => 34 = l+w => 34 - w = l

replacing l in the area

288 = (34 - w) w

w^2 - 34w + 288 = 0

(w - 16)(w - 18)

w = 16

w = 18

replacing in 34 - w = l

you get that when w = 16, l = 18 and when w = 18, l = 16

babymother [125]
1. You have the following information:
<span>
 - Maria has 8 1/2 quarts of soil.
 - Each pot requires 3/4 quart of soil.
</span>
 2. Keeping this on mind, you can convert the mixed number 8 1/2 and the fracion 3/4 to decimals, as below: 

 8 1/2=8.5 quarts
 3/4=0.75 quarts

 3. Therefore, you have:

 1 pot-----0.75 quarts
       x-----8.5 quarts

 x=(8.5x1)/0.75
 x=11 pots
<span>
 For how many pots does Maria have enough soil?
</span>
 The answer is: 11 pots

The value of y varies directly with x. When y=4, x=12. What is the value of y when x is 42
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

y would be 14

Step-by-step explanation:

If y=4 and x=12, that means x is 3 times the amount of y. Therefore, if x is 42, y should be three times less the amount. 42/3 is 14 and that's your correct answer!
