Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the question is asking us how many hours the plumber worked, which makes it a variable, so let's call it x, times an hourly rate of $50. We already know she paid 200 so let's make that into an equation.

450 = 50x + 200

We need to isolate x, so we have to subtract 200 from each side. The equation should know look like this:

250 = 50x

Now in order to determine x, we need to divide by 50 on both sides.

X = 5

So the plumber worked a total of 5 hours.

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is the fee plus the hours* hourly cost

450 = 200+50*h  where h is the hours

Subtract 200 from each side

450-200 = 200-200 +50h

250 = 50h

Divide each side by 50

250/50 = 50h/50

5 = h

5 hours

A landscaper wants to create a 12-foot-long diagonal path through a rectangular garden. The width of the garden is x feet and th
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Width of the rectangle =  6.7 ft

length of the rectangle = 10.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is the rectangle.

AB = length of the rectangle = 4 + x ft

BC = width of the rectangle = x ft

AC = Diagonal of the rectangular field = 12 ft

Since ΔABC is the Right angle triangle. So

AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2}

12^{2} = (4 + x)^{2} + x^{2}

144 = x^{2} + 16 + x^{2} + 8 x

144 = 2x^{2} + 8x + 16

x^{2} + 4x -72 = 0

By solving above equation we get

x = 6.7 ft

Thus is the width of the rectangle.

And length of the rectangle = 4 + x

⇒ 4 + 6.7

⇒ 10.7 ft
