To find area, we use this equation:
L×W=A
We already know what the Area is so let's fill it in.
L×W=256
The question says that the width is 48 cm shorter than 4 times its length.
W=4L-48
We can put that equation in for width.
(4l-48)l=256 ;let's multiply.
4l²-48l=256
To find this, you can use a graph as shown below.
So, the rectangle's length is 16 cm.

If we let x represent the length, then the width is (4x-48), and the area is ...
  x(4x-48) = 256

This is neatly solved graphically to find x = 16. (x=-4 is an extraneous solution)

The rectangle's length is 16 cm.

Y = x + 3 is the answer

the y-intercept is 3, so the answer should have a "+ 3" in it

when you are trying to determine the gradient (the x), you can use two methods

first method:
picture/sketch the line. If the line is going upwards (from left to right), it's positive. If the line is going downwards (from left to right), it's negative. However, this method only works for this question, you should try using the second method more

second method:
use the formula: (y - y) / (x - x)
So, you use the y from one of the brackets and subtract the y from the other bracket. Then, you put it over the x ,from the same bracket as the first y, and subtract the x from the second bracket. If you are confused, look at the picture. (Sorry for the messy explanation)

You randomly draw a marble from a bag of marbles that contains 333 blue marbles, 444 green marbles, and 555 red marbles.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

1/4 or 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Isn't latex a devil?

You want to know the probability of a blue marble.

Formula

P(blue) = #Blue / # Total

Givens

#Blue = 333

#Total = 333 + 444 + 555 = 1332

Solution

P(blue) = 333 / 1332      Divide by 111

P(blue) = 3/12

P(blue) = 1/4 or 0.25
