8x - 10 = 86 {combined like terms}

8x = 96 {added 10 to both sides}

x = 12 {divided both sides by 8}

3x - 5 = 31 {substituted 12, in for x, into 3x - 5}


width = 12 in.

length = 31 in.

The amount of energy waste, in terms of hours which a 60-watt light bulb would remain on, is 61.6 hours then the correct option is B.

<h3>What are ratio and proportion?</h3>

A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

Marco leaves the bathroom faucet running for 22 minutes while he gets ready in the morning.

Running the faucet for 5 minutes wastes the same amount of energy as leaving a 60-watt light bulb on for 14 hours.

Then we have

\begin{aligned} \dfrac{5\ minutes}{14 \ hours } &=\dfrac{1\ minute }{x \ hours}\\\\x &= 2.8  \ hours \end{aligned}

So, the rate is 2.8 hours per minute.

Since macro leaves the bathroom faucet running for 22 minutes. Then the waste of energy is leaving a 60-watt light bulb will be

→22 minutes × 2.8 hours/minute = 61.6 hours.

More about the ratio and the proportion link is given below.

Nellie is analyzing a quadratic function f(x) and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?
dolphi86 [110]
For the answer to the question above, I think i've seen this question before.
If we substitute 13 to f(x) and get a value for x, then the two equations will intersect. So,
f(x) = x^2 + 6x +10
13 = x^2 + 6x+ 10
x^2 + 6x - 3 = 0

Solving the quadratic equations:
The roots of the equation is
x = 0.4641 and
x = -6.4541

Therefore, the line will intersect with the quadratic function.

Answer:

a)1400 + 300x ≤ 5000

b) x ≤ 12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since the grocery store owner wants to stay within budget then, this means he would be spending at most $5,000

The word at most is represented by the inequality sign ≤ = Less than or equal to

Let x = Number of days

Hence,

Our inequality equation is

$1400 + 300× x ≤ $5000

1400 + 300x ≤ 5000

b) Solving for x

1400 + 300x ≤ 5000

300x ≤ 5000 - 1400

300x ≤ 3600

x ≤ 3600/300

x ≤ 12 days
