Answer: 19/12 pounds or 1.583 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a pound be represented by x. So x = 1 pound.
5/6 of a pound is the same as multiplying 5/6 × x. It becomes 5/6 × x = 5x/6
3/4 of a pound is the same as multiplying 3/4 × x. It becomes 3/4 × x = 3x/4
We want to look for 5/6 of a pound + 3/4 of a pound.
It becomes
5x/6 + 3x/4
Taking lowest common multiple(LCM) of 12, it becomes
= (2×5x + 3×3x) / 12
= (10x +9x)/12
= 19x /12
Substituting x = 1 pound,
It becomes 19/12 pounds
Expressing in decimal, 19/12 = 15.83
We can also solve from the beginning in terms of decimals
5/6 pounds = 0.833 pounds
3/4pounds = 0.75 pounds
5/6 pounds + 3/4 pounds = 0.833 + 0.75 = 1.583 pounds
To put it in slope intercept form, you want to solve for y.
5y = -6x + 50
y = -6/5x + 10
So, your slope is -6/5 (or -1.2) and your y-intercept is +10.
6+6=12
9+9=18
9+9=18
12+18+18= 48cm

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is 3w+1 and the area is ...
w(3w+1) = 52
3w² +w -52 = 0
To factor this equation, we need factors of 3·52 = 156 that have a difference of 1. These values are 12 and 13, so we can rewrite the equation as ...
3w² +13w -12w -52 = 0
w(3w +13) -4(3w +13) = 0
(w -4)(3w +13) = 0
The positive value of w that makes a factor zero is ...
w = 4
Then the length is 3w+1 = 3(4) +1 = 13.
The length is 13 ft; the width is 4 ft.
