Ivahew [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(L + W)

P = 56

L = 12

now sub...we are looking for w

56 = 2(12 + W)

56 = 24 + 2W

56 - 24 = 2W

32 = 2W

32/2 = W

16 = W <==== the width is 16 inches

check...

P = 2(L + W)

56 = 2(12 + 16)

56 = 2(28)

56 = 56 (correct)

If 2a-b:2a+b=1:2find the value of a:b​
weqwewe [10]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

2a - b : 2a + b = 1 : 2

2a - b = 1

-                         Elimination

2a + b = 2

-b - (b) = -1

-2b = -1

b = 0.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2a + b = 2           Substitution

2a + 0.5 = 2

2a = 1.5

a = 0.75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a:b

0.75 : 0.5

or

3/4 : 1/2

Hope this helps!!!

What method would you choose to solve the equation 2x^2-7=9
Margaret [11]
Here is one way to solve for x.

Step 1)  2x^2-7=9

Step 2)  2x^2-7+7=9+7

Step 3)  2x^2=16

Step 4)  (2x^2)/2=16/2

Step 5)  x^2=8

Step 6)  sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)

Step 7)  |x|=sqrt(8)

Step 8)  x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)

-------------------------------------

Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.

Step 1) Original equation

Step 2) Add 7 to both sides

Step 3) Combine like terms

Step 4) Divide both sides by 2

Step 5) Simplify

Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"

Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x

Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.

-------------------------------------

The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)

The 7 a.m. flight from Dallas to Chicago is on time 75% of the time. Fran created this spinner to simulate the scenario.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

CORRECT OPTION is (C) The flight will be late on one of the three days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 7am flight from Dallas to Chicago is on time 75% of the time.

A spinner with four sections was created by Fran to simulate this scenario.

Since the 4 sections were equal, it means each section was 25% of the spinner.

3 sections were shaded. That implies 25 × 3 = 75% of the spinner was shaded area.

This coincides with the 75% probability that the flight is on time on a given day.

In other words, if the spinner's pointer lands on shaded area, the flight will be on time. If the pointer lands on an unshaded portion, the flight will be late.

Now Fran spun the spinner 3 times so she has 3 outcomes. The outcomes are:

- Shaded   - Shaded   - Unshaded

CORRECT OPTION is (C) The flight will be late on one of the three days.
