Hope this helps. It has the y and x intercepts on the graph.
Let the amount Kevin earns be represented with K
Let the amount Jason earns be represented with J
Jason earns $32.50 less than twice Keyin earns can be represented by
J = K - 32.5 ----- equation 1
Jason earns $ 212.5
J = 212.5 ----- equation 2
From equation 1, we can write the equation to solve for what Kevin earns
J = K - 32.5
Making K the subject of the formula
K = J + 32.5
Putting J = 212.5 into the equation above
K= $ 212.5 + $ 32.5
K = $ 245
Kevin earns $245
Answer:
length : 10 yard
width: 14 yard
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l be the length of the yard.
Since the width is 6 yards less than twice its length, we can say the width is 2l-6.
With width x length=area,
l (2l -6) = 140
2l^2 - 6l = 140
2l^2 - 6l - 140 = 0
Using the quadratic formula,
we can determine l = 10 or -7
since the length should not be negative,
the length is 10 yard.
Now substitute l=10 into 2l-6.
width = 2(10)-6
= 14 yard
