Draw a rectangle that is twice as wide as it is tall, and that fits snugly into the triangular region formed by the line 3x + 4y

= 12 and the positive coordinate axes, with one corner at the origin and the opposite corner on the line. Find the dimensions of this rectangle.

To draw the line 3x+4y=12:

let x=0, then      4y=12, so y=3                 thus the point (0, 3) is on the line

let y-0, then       3x=12, so x=4                 thus the point (4, 0) is on the line

Join the points to form the line as shown in the picture.


Let the opposite corner of the origin be P, the coordinates of P must be (2a, a). 

In this way we have "a rectangle that is twice as wide as it is tall"


the point P(2a, a) is a point on the line 3x+4y=12, 

thus x=2a, y=a is a solution to the equation:

3x+4y=12
3(2a)+4a=12
6a+4a=12
10a=12
a=12/10=1.2


The dimensions of the rectangle are 2a by a, that is 2.4 by 1.2



Answer: 2.4 by 1.2

A Broadway musical came to town. The auditorium filled all 1,000 seats at two-level pricing. Level 1 tickets are $75 each, and l
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

x represents the number of level 1 tickets; y represents the number of level 2 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation (x + y = 1,000 ) shows that x + y equal to the number of seats in the auditorium. That means that they represent the number of tickets. In the second equation (75x + 100y = 25,000) x and y are being multiplied by the cost of their level ticket. So x represents the number of level 1 tickets; y represents the number of level 2 tickets.

hope this helps!

Solve for h.<br><br> –0.62 + 8.35 + 3.9h = –6.55 + 1.1h
stepan [7]

Answer:

- 0.62 + 8.35 + 3.9h =  - 6.55 + 1.1h \\  \\ 3.9h - 1.1h = - 6.55 + 0.62 - 8.35 \\  \\ 2.8h =  - 14.28 \\  \\ h =  \frac{ - 14.28}{2.8}  \\  \\ h =   \frac{ - 142.8}{28}  \\  \\ h =  - 5.1

I hope I helped you^_^

4 ⇒ 32, 36, 40

12 ⇒ 36

Answer = 36

b. Divisors of 24 ⇒ 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Answer = 3

3 is the only odd divisor.

c. Gcd = Greatest common divisor that isn't zero.

35 divisors ⇒ 1, 5, 7, 35

42 divisors ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Answer = 7

d. 98 divisors ⇒ 1,2,7,14,49,98

99 divisors ⇒ 1,3,9,11,33,99

Answer = 1

e. Answer = 25.

A number's greatest divisor is its own self.
