Answer:

2.25 x 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we were given :

The weight of the Elephant = 9 × 10³ pounds

The weight of the African Lion = 4 × 10² pounds

We would compare both weights to determine which size is bigger

Weight of Elephant : Weight of Lion

9× 10³ : 4 × 10²

= 9 × 10³/4 × 10²

= 2.25 × 10¹

= 2.25 × 10

The weight of the elephant is 2.25 × 10 times greater than the weight of the lion.

What is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2+1 ?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

y=2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

what is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2<em>x</em>+1 ?

Remember

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes are equal to -1)

The slope of the given line is m=-1/2

so

the opposite reciprocal is m=2

<em>Find the equation of the line in point slope form</em>

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=2\\point\ (-2,3)

substitute

y-3=2(x+2)

<em>Convert to slope intercept form</em>

y=mx+b

isolate the variable y

y-3=2x+4

y=2x+4+3

y=2x+7

-2 -13.8x = -8 -(6x+1)
Varvara68 [4.7K]
-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.

-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.

-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.

-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.

+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.

-7.8x = -7
Simplified.

-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.

7.8x = 7
Simplified

(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.

x = 1.11428571429
The answer !

I hope this helped !

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than the width. Find the width of the rectangle if the area is 32.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

length = 8

width = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length x breadth

Let x represent the width

length = x + 4

32 = x × (x + 4)

32 = x² + 4x

x² + 4x  - 32  = 0

solving using quadratic equation =

(x² - 4x) -32 + 8x

x = 4 or -8

since width cannot be a negative number, we would use 4
