The length of a rectangle exceeds its breadth by 7cm. if the length is decreased by 4cm and the breadth is increased by 3cm, the
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth = x

The length exceeds = x + 7

The breadth increased = x + 3

Because it said the length decreased by 4 so, the length would be:

x + 7 - 4 = x + 3

Original area:

We learn that:

area = length * breadth

x*(x+7) = (x+3)*(x+3)

x^2 + 7x = (x+3)^2

x^2 + 7x = x^2 + 6x + 9 (We also learn that (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

x^2 - x^2 + 7x - 6x = 9

x = 9 (so the breadth = 9)

The length = x + 7 = 9+7 = 16(cm)

Hope this help you :3

Laura earns $134,350 per year. Use Laura’s income tax rate to determine what her monthly deduction should be . ( the tax is 28%)
Andreyy89
Answer: Her refund would be $5,681.20.

The problem says that Laura paid the estimate above, which is 28%.
0.28 x 134350 = 37618

However, she had some deductions.
134350 - 4000 - 12200 - 4090 = 114060

So, to find the tax on this amount, we multiply it again by 0.28.
0.28 x 114060 = 31936.8

The amount of the refund will be the difference.
37618 - 31936.8 = 5681.2

Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (4, -5) and is perpendicular to the line x + 2y = 5?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

y = 2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c, m is the gradient and c is the intercept

The line passes through points 4 and -5, x is 4 and y is -5

-5 = 4m + c

When two lines are perpendicular, the products of their gradients are equal to -1, m1 * m2 = -1

x + 2y = 5

2y = -x + 5

y = (-1/2 * x) + 5

therefore m = -1/2

m1 * m2 = -1

m * -1/2 = -1

-m = -2 , therefore m = 2

-5 = 4 * 2 + c

c = -5 - 8, which is -13

Therefore the equation for the line is

y = 2x - 13

Evaluate the function g(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 5 for the input values -2, 0, and 3.
Roman55 [17]

Evaluate the function

g(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 5 for the input values -2, 0, and 3.

This is tedious math work but necessary to sharpen your skills.

Let x = -2

g(-2) = 2(-2)^2 + 3(-2) – 5

g(-2) = 2(4) - 6 - 5

g(-2) = 8 - 11

g(-2) = -3

Now let x = 0 and repeat the process.

g(0) = 2(0)^2 + 3(0) - 5

g(0) = 0 + 0 - 5

g(0) = -5

Lastly, let x = 3.

g(3) = 2(3)^2 + 3(3) - 5

g(3) = 2(9) + 9 - 5

g(3) = 18 + 9 - 5

g(3) = 27 - 5

g(3) = 22

Did you follow through each step?
