Answer:

10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the mat width showing around the picture. Since the sheet is 20 in wide by 15 in high, and the perimeter of the mat is 110 in. We have the following equation:

2*(20 + x + 15 + x) = 110

35 + 2x = 55

2x = 20

x = 20/2 = 10 in

Item 6 Your friend earns $10.50 per hour. This is 125% of her hourly wage last year. How much did your friend earn per hour last
tester [92]

Answer:

$8.40

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find the total amount last year using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other.

\frac{125}{100}=\frac{10.50}{y}

We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.

125(y)=100(10.50)

125y=1050

y=8.40

Find the x and y intercepts of the following function.<br> g(x)=x^2-5x-84
Ahat [919]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the function

g(0) = 0 - 0 - 84 = - 84 ← y- intercept

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² - 5x - 84 = 0

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 84) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

The factors are - 12 and + 7, since

- 12 × 7 = - 84 and - 12 + 7 = - 5, thus

(x - 12)(x + 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 12
