Answer:

The length of the case is 24 cm and its width is 17cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Length of a standard jewel case is 7cm more than its width.

Let the length be represented by L and the width be represented by W, this means that:

L = 7 + W

The area of the rectangular top of the case is 408cm². The area od a rectangle is given as:

A = L * W

Since L = 7 + W:

A = (7 + W) * W = 7W + W²

The area is 408 cm², hence:

408 = 7W + W²

Solving this as a quadratic equation:

=> W² + 7W - 408 = 0

W² + 24W - 17W - 408 = 0

W(W + 24) - 17(W + 24) = 0

(W - 17) (W + 24) = 0

=> W = 17cm or -24 cm

Since width cannot be negative, the width of the case is 17 cm.

Hence, the length, L, is:

L = 7 + 17 = 24cm.

The length of the case is 24 cm and its width is 17cm.

2/5 - 1/3 (simplified if possible)
Kipish [7]

Answer:

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

(1).   <em>Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD (Least Common Denominator). </em>

So lets do step one now, the LCD is 15 so we have to make both denominators agree on one number, so 15 is the number both denominators agree on.

Solve:

2*3/5*3 - 1*5/3*5

(2). <em>Complete the multiplication.</em>

6/15 - 5/15

(3). <em>The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.</em>

6 - 5 / 15 - 15 = 1/15

*Pro tip:

<em>The denominator doesn't change and stays the same. So you don't </em>

<em>subtract the 15 by 15.</em>

(4). <em>Then you'll get the answer and then if you can simplify then simplify.</em>

<em />

The Answer is 1/15, and cannot be simplified.

So the answer is 1/15

Hope this helps!

Pls answer this for meeee​
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

7 hamsters at 5 pesos each and 13 hamsters at 8 pesos each

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 8y = 139

x + y = 20

x = 20 - y

5x + 8y = 139

5(20 - y) + 8y = 139

100 - 5y + 8y = 139

100 + 3y = 139

3y = 139 - 100

3y = 39

3y/3 = 39/3

y = 13

x + y = 20

x + 13 = 20

x = 20 - 13

x = 7

What is the equation of a line whose slope is 2 and passes through the point (-6,9)
yuradex [85]

Answer:

y = 2x + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out known variables

y = mx + b

m = 2

y = 2x + b

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

9 = 2(-6) + b

9 = -12 + b

b = 21

Step 3: Rewrite linear equation

y = 2x + 21
