Answer:

the width is 9 23/30 feet ≈ 9.767 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the train car. Then 6 times the width is 6w, and 8 ft less than that is (6w-8). We are told this amount is 50.6 feet, so we have ...

6w -8 = 50.6

6w = 58.6 . . . . . . . add 8; next divide by 6

58.6/6 = w = 586/60 = 293/30 = 9 23/30 . . . . feet

This is a repeating decimal: 9.766666...

The width of the train car is 9 23/30 ft, about 9.77 ft.

Which number is a solution of a² +4= 6a – 1?<br> 07<br> 6<br> 7<br> 8
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

a=1 or a=5

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2}+4=6a−1

Step 1: Subtract 6a-1 from both sides.

a^{2}+4−(6a−1)=6a−1−(6a−1)

a^{2}−6a+5=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(a−1)(a−5)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

a−1=0 or a−5=0

a=1 or a=5

(is it helpful rate me according to that

Thank You:-)
