The equation to represent the area of the triangle would be:
y = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
The equation to represent the perimeter of the triangle would be:
y = 3x - 6
The solutions to the system would be (12, 30) or (1, -3). The only viable solution is (12, 30).
Explanation
The area of a triangle is found using the formula
A = 1/2bh
For our triangle, b = x and h = x-7, so we have:
A = 1/2(x)(x-7)
A = 1/2(x²-7x)
A = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
We will replace A with y, so we have:
y = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
The perimeter of a triangle is found by adding together all sides, so we have:
P = (x-7) + x + (x+1)
Combining like terms we get:
P = 3x - 6
We will replace P with y, so we have:
y = 3x - 6
Since both equations have y isolated on one side, it will be easy to use substitution to solve the system:
3x - 6 = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
It's easier to work with whole numbers, so we will multiply everything by 2:
6x - 12 = x² - 7x
We want all of the variables on one side, so we will subtract 6x:
6x - 12 - 6x = x² - 7x - 6x
-12 = x² - 13x
When solving quadratics, we want the equation equal to 0, so we will add 12:
-12+12 = x² - 13x + 12
0 = x² - 13x + 12
This is easy to factor, as there are factors of 12 that sum to -13; -12(-1) = 12 and -12+-1 = -13:
0 = (x-12)(x-1)
Using the zero product property, we know that either x-12=0 or x-1=0; therefore x=12 or x=1.
Putting these back into our equation for perimeter (the simplest one) we have:
y = 3(12)-6 = 36-6 = 30; (12, 30);
y = 3(1) - 6 = 3 - 6 = -3; (1, -3)
We cannot have a negative perimeter, so the only viable solution is (12, 30).
There are 7 chairs in each row length.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of chairs in 1 row be 'x'.
Let total number of chairs be 'y'.
Given:
Hue can form 6 rows of a given length with 3 chairs left over.
It means that Total number of chairs is equal to chairs in 1 rows multiplied by number of rows which is 6 plus number of chairs which is left which is 3.
Framing in equation form we get.
Also Given:
Hue can form 8 rows of that same length if she gets 11 more chairs.
It means that Total number of chairs is equal to chairs in 1 rows multiplied by number of rows which is 8 minus number of chairs which is required more which is 11.
Framing in equation form we get.
From equation 1 and equation 2 we can say that L.H.S is same.
So according to law of transitivity we get;
Combining like terms we get;
Using Subtraction and Addition property we get;
Now Using Division Property we will divide both side by 2.
Hence there are 7 chairs in each row length.
Answer:
5.75
Step-by-step explanation:
10 1/4 = 10.25
4 1/2 = 4.5
10.25 - 4.5 = 5.75
8÷(3-(8÷3))
8 divided by 3 minus 8 divided by 3.
Make sure to include the brackets otherwise the answer will not work.
This is a 20% increase. If we divvy up the 25 into 5 groups, we can say that each group is 20%. since we added another group of 5, we can go off of our known values and say that this was a 20% increase.
