Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have is a general equation that says this in words:

Laura's hours + Doug's hours = 250 total hours

Since we don't know either person's number of hours, AND since we can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, we need to write Laura's hours in terms of Doug's, or Doug's hours in terms of Laura's.  We are told that Doug spent Laura's hours plus another 40 in the lab, so let's call Laura's hours "x".  That makes Doug's hours "x + 40".  Now we can write our general equation in terms of x:

x + x + 40 = 250 and

2x = 210 so

x = 105

Since Laura is x, she worked 105 hours in the lab and Doug worked 40 hours beyond what Laura worked.  Doug worked 145.  As long as those 2 numbers add up to 250, we did the job correctly.  105 + 145 = 250? I believe it does!!

The length of a rectangle is 9 inches and its perimeter is 48 inches. What is the width of the rectangle?
lana [24]
A.) Equation of Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2(l + w)

48 = 2(9 + x)

B.) Solving: 48 = 2(9 + x)

48 = 18 + 2x

2x = 48 - 18

x = 30/2

x = 15

In short, Width would be: 15 inches

Hope this helps!

The water level of a certain body of water is changing at a rate of W(t)=3/4cos(4-t/2) inches per hour, where t represents hours
Leni [432]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The integral \int\limits^{10}_{1 } {W(t)} \, dt means the total change in level of water in inches from 1 am to 10 am. That is the water level change measured in inches between 1 am and 10 am

b) 7 pm is represented as t = 19 hours, while midnight is represented as t = 24 hours, hence the water level change between 7 pm and midnight is:

\int\limits^{24}_{19 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\

c) Using casio calculator to evaluate the integral gives:

\int\limits^{24}_{19 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\ = 2.54 inches

D) The total daily change in water level = \int\limits^{24}_{0 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\ = 0.35 inches

Expand the following 1/6 (18x-24)
monitta
Hello,

What we want to do is multiply 1/6 by each value within the parentheses individually.

So, it would be:
(1/6) * (18x) = 3x
(1/6) * (-24) = -4

Together, this would be 3x-4.

Hope this helps!

balu736 [363]

<em>Hi!</em>

<em></em>

<em>These can be set up as systems of equations.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Let b = the number of birds, and let d = the number of dogs.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>b + d = 21</em>

<em> </em>

<em>2b + 4d = 76 (this is because birds have 2 legs and dogs have 4 legs.)</em>

<em> </em>

<em>You can solve this using either elimination or substitution.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Consider marking brainliest.</em>
