Multiply (5 /47) (-2 2/5)

puteri [66]

Answer:

Width: 7

Length: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found my multiplying the length by the width. We do not know neither the length nor the width. However, we do know that the length is 7 feet longer than the width. Because we do not know the value of either side, let's let $x$ represent the width.

Since the length is 7 feet longer, we can represent the length by $x+7$ .

Now that we have our values for the length and the width we can multiply them together to find our area.

$(x)(x+7)=x^{2} +7x$

Now we have our equation, so we can address the changes made by the original question. The original question states that when 7 is added to both the length and width the area becomes 3 times larger. To do so simply increase each side by 7 by adding 7 to the original values.

$(x+7)(x+14)$

And multiply our area by 3.

$3(x^{2} +7x)$

set these equal to each other to find your new equation.

$(x+7)(x+14)=3(x^{2} +7x)$

Now you need to solve for $x$ . To do this first muliply $(x+7)$ and $(x+14)$ .

$(x+7)(x+14)=\\x^{2} +14x+7x+98=\\x^{2} +21x+98$

Then multiply $3(x^{2} +7x)$

$3(x^{2} +7x)=\\3x^{2} +21x$

Now you can begin solving for $x$ .

$x^{2} +21x+98=3x^{2} +21x$

Subtract $x^{2}$ from both sides.

$21x+98=2x^{2} +21x$

Subtract $21x$ from both sides.

$98=2x^{2}$

Divide by 2.

$49=x^{2}$

And finally take the sqaure root of both sides.

$\sqrt{x^{2} }=\sqrt{49}\\x=7$

Remember, because we are dealing with length, there cannot be negative. So while normally we would get both +7 and -7, in this case we only get +7.

Now that we have the value of $x$ , we can plug it into our original values.

For width we simply get 7.

For length we get 7+7=14

To check our answer we cna multiply 7 by 14 to get 98. Then we can add 7 to our length and width to get 14 and 21. Multiply these together and we get 294. 294 divided by 3 is 98, proving our answer correct.

8.4.9 On or off the line & Practice Problems

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Number of quarters → 15

Number of dimes → 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes I have = y

And number of quarters = x

Since, I have amount in my pocket = $2

Therefore, 0.10y + 0.25x = 2

100(0.10y + 0.25x) = 100×2

25x + 10y = 200

5x + 2y = 40

2y = -5x + 40

y = -2.5x + 20 ---------(1)

Total number of coins in my pocket = 17

x + y = 17

y = -x + 17 ---------(2)

By using a graphing calculator we can graph these two lines (As attached)

Solution of the given system of equations will be the point of intersection of these lines.

Solution → (2, 15)

Number of quarters → 15

Number of dimes → 2

The New York Queens Zoo celebrated the birth of a Southern pudu deer in July of 2013. The doe is a member of the world’s smalles

PolarNik [594]

The pudu weighed approximately 1 pound at birth.

Given that the New York Queens Zoo celebrated the birth of a Southern pudu deer in July of 2013 which tipped the scale of a mere 0.45 kg, to determine, given that one kilogram is approximately equal to 2.2 pounds, about how many pounds did the pudu weigh at birth, the following calculation must be performed:

1 = 2.2
0.45 = X
0.45 x 2.2 = X
0.99 = X

Therefore, the pudu weighed approximately 1 pound at birth.

I need the answer to a parts I-iii and the answer to b

fomenos

Answer:

a)

i) Mean = 72

ii) Median = 72

iii) Mode = 72

b)

69, 70, 71, 72, 72, 72, 73, 74, 75

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To find mean, median and mode

It is given that all the 9 students get 72 marks.

Therefore the data set be,

72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72 72

i) mean = (sum of data)/(total number of data)

= (9 * 72)/9 = 9

ii) Median - Central data in the data set when arranging ascending or descending order

72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72 72

Median = 72

iii) Mode - Most repeating data in the data set

Here mode = 72

b). To find a data set

69, 70, 71, 72, 72, 72, 73, 74, 75

Here Mean, mode and median are all 72
