Answer:

Length = 55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangular floor= 605ft²

Length= x

Width= 1/5x

Formula for area of rectangular floor= Length × width

Put the given into the formula.

605 ft² = x × 1/5x

605 ft² = x²/5

multiplying both sides by 5

605 ft² × 5 = x²/5 × 5

x² = 605 ft² × 5

= 3025 ft²

x= √3025 ft²

x= 55 ft

Put x into the unknown above.

Length= x

Width= 1/5x

Length = 55 ft

Width= (1/5)×55 = 11 ft

Identify the rule that could possibly describe this set of data.
Elina [12.6K]

option D is the correct option

y= 10- 2x

Now, if we take the first value of x i.e 1

then, y= 10-2(1)

= 10-2 = 8 ---------> this value matches with the given value of y

take,x =2

y=10-2(2) = 10-4 = 6--------->this value matches with the given value of y

taking, x = 3

y= 10-2(3) = 10- 6=4-------->this value matches with the given value of y

The costs of 5 similar digital cameras and 3 similar video cameras is $3,213. Each video camera costs 4 times as much as each di
mariarad [96]
Let,
digital cameras be "x"
video cameras be "y"
Now,
According to the question,
5x + 3y = $3,213..................................................equation (1)
y = 4x..................................................................equation (2)

Taking equation (1)
5x + 3y = $3,213
Substituting the value of "y" from equation (2), we get,
5x + 3(4x) = $3,213
5x + 12x = $3,213
17x = $3,213
x = $3,213 / 17
x = $189

Taking equation (2)
y = 4x
Substituting the value of "x", we get,
y = 4 ($189)
y = $756

Now,
John buys a digital and a video camera. So, it costs him ($189 + $756) = $945

Solving one to two step equations . algebra 1 .
frozen [14]

Answer:

1.) k = 5

2.) n = -20

3.) p = -13

4.) m = -450

5.) b = -38

6.) n = -24

7.) x = 21

8.) x = 12

9.) b = -2

10.) b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve all equations, do the reciprocal, or opposite of what is being done. For example, if a number and a variable are being multiplied, you would divide by the number to solve.

1.) 55 = 11k

(11 and k are being multiplied, so you would divide)

Divide by 11 on both sides:

55 = 11k

/11     /11

5 = k

2.) Add 15 on both sides:

n - 15 = -35

   +15    +15

n = -20

3.) Divide by -6 on both sides:

78 = -6p

/-6    /-6

-13 = p

4.) Multiply by 18 on both sides:

m/18 = -25

18(m/18) = (-25)18

m = -450

5.) Add 20 on both sides:

18 = -20 - b

+20  +20

38 = -b

Divide by -1 on both sides:

38 = -b

/-1     /-1

-38 = b

6.) Subtract 12 on both sides:

12 + n/4 = 6

-12            -12

n/4 = -6

Multiply by 4 on both sides:

4(n/4) = (-6)4

n = -24

7.) Multiply by 2 on both sides:

2(-7 + x/2) = (7)2

-7 + x = 14

Add 7 on both sides:

-7 + x = 14

+7         +7

x = 21

8.) Subtract 2 on both sides:

-4x + 2 = -22

      -2     -2

-4x = -24

Divide by -4 on both sides:

-4x = -24

/-4     /-4

x = 12

9.) Add 9 on both sides:

7 = -8b - 9

+9         +9

16 = -8b

Divide by -8 on both sides:

16 = -8b

/-8   /-8

-2 = b

10.) Multiply by -3 on both sides:

-3(b - 14/-3) = (3)-3

b - 14 = -9

Add 14 on both sides:

b - 14 = -9

  +14    +14

b = 5
