Mathematics

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is linear; therefore, the slope of the line joining any two points is the same.

We take any two points from the table and compute the slope or  rise/ run between them— let is take points (-4, -2) and (-2, -10).

The slope m of the line joining the points is

m=\dfrac{\Delta y }{\Delta x } =\dfrac{-2-(-10)}{-4-(-2)} \\\\\boxed{m=-4}

The slope of the function is -4.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If A, B, and C are in the ratio of 2:3:5 and they are each getting some amount of money in that ratio, then to find the total amount of money they split is found in Ax + Bx + Cx and we need to solve for x. What we are told is that the smallest share = 210 and obviously A is the smallest share. Therefore,

2x = 210 and x = 105.

The total sum = 210 + 3(105) + 5(105) so

Total sum = 210 + 315 + 525

Total sum = 1050 and

C's share is 525 and

B's share is 315

the length of a rectangle is 2 inches longer than twice its width. If the area of the rectangle is 24 square inches, what are th
gregori [183]

Answer:

The length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

The length can be represented by 2w + 2

Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in the area and the expressions for the length and width:

A = lw

24 = (2w + 2)(w)

Simplify and solve for w:

24 = 2w² + 2w

2w² + 2w - 24

Divide everything by 2:

w² + w - 12

Factor:

(w + 4)(w - 3)

Set equal to 0 and solve for each factor:

w + 4 = 0

w = -4

w - 3 = 0

w = 3

Since the width cannot be negative, the width has to be 3.

Next, find the length by plugging in 3 as w:

2w + 2

2(3) + 2

= 8

So, the length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches
