Answer: x=8 and y=±3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= Sum of length of sides

Let A= (4,0)

B= (8,0)

C= (x,y)

So

AB+BC+CA = 12

\sqrt{(8-4)^{2} -(0-0)^{2} } + \sqrt{(x-8)^{2}+(y-0)^{2}  }  + \sqrt{(4-x)^2+(0-y)^{2} }= 12

Solving it, the possible outcomes comes out to be

x= 4, y=±3

x=8, y=±3

x=2, y=0

x=10, y=0

For the largest area, we would use

x=8 and y=±3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

5a - 10b = 45

<em>b</em> = 3

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Substitute in <em>b</em> [Equation]:                                                                                5a - 10(3) = 45
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                             5a - 30 = 45
  3. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 30 on both sides:                                  5a = 75
  4. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 5 on both sides:                                  a = 15

Andre earns $4,000 a month at his new job in order to track his spending and saving he created a monthly budget. Andre divided h
Alik [6]

Answer:

If Andre plans on staying within his budget, he should choose Apartment 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apartment 1: $1100 rent + $250 utilities = $1350 Total Monthly

Apartment 2: $1350 rent + $100 utilities = $1450 Total Monthly

Andre can spend up to $1320 on rent & $320 on utilities, totaling at $1640. In this situation, Andre needs to save as much money as possible. Either on one of these apartments stay below the budget for monthly cost, but Apartment 2's rent goes $30 higher than his budget allows. In the end, this makes apartment 1 the best option for rent, utilities, and ultimate cost.

If Andre plans on staying within his budget, he should choose Apartment 1.
