Answer:

  • width -- 10 ft
  • length -- 35 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x represent the width. Then the length will be represented by (3x+5), a value 5 more than 3 times the width.

The area is the product of length and width, so is ...

  A = (3x +5)(x) = 3x^2 +5x

To make the area 350, we can find the value of x from ...

  3x^2 +5x = 350

This can be solved a number of ways. One of them is "completing the square".

  3(x^2 +5/3x) = 350

We choose to divide by 3 and add the square of half the x-coefficient.

  x^2 +5/3x +(5/6)^2 = (350/3) + (5/6)^2

  (x +5/6)^2 = 4225/36 . . . . simplify

  x +5/6 = ±√(4225/36) = ±10 5/6 . . . . take the square root

  x = 10  or  -11 2/3 . . . . subtract 5/6

The positive solution is the one of interest: x = 10.

The driveway is 10 ft wide and 35 ft long.

Write the equation in standard form<br><br> y = -10x + 6
Mumz [18]
Step (1) Flip the equation

−10x+6=y


Step (2) Add -6 to both sides

−10x+6+−6=y+−6

−10x=y−6

Step (3) Divide both sides by -10

−10x−10=y−6−10

ANSWER
x =  \frac{ - 1}{10} y +  \frac{3}{5}

Q5: The probability that event A occurs is 5/7 and the probability that event B occurs is 2/3 . If A and B are independent event
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

P(A \cap B)

And we can use the following formula:

P(A \cap B)= P(A)* P(B)

And replacing the info we got:

P(A \cap B) = \frac{5}{7} \frac{2}{3}= \frac{10}{21}=0.476

Step-by-step explanation:

We define two events for this case A and B. And we know the probability for each individual event given by the problem:

p(A) = \frac{5}{7}

p(B) = \frac{2}{3}

And we want to find the probability that A and B both occurs if A and B are independent events, who menas the following conditions:

P(A|B) = P(A)

P(B|A) = P(B)

And for this special case we want to find this probability:

P(A \cap B)

And we can use the following formula:

P(A \cap B)= P(A)* P(B)

And replacing the info we got:

P(A \cap B) = \frac{5}{7} \frac{2}{3}= \frac{10}{21}=0.476
