2L + 2(L-6) = 68
2L + 2L -12 = 68
4L = 80
L = 20
The length is 20 in. and the width is 14 in.
We want to solve 9a² = 16a for a.
Because the a is on both sides, a good strategy is to get all the a terms on one side and set it equal to zero. Then we apply the Zero Product Property (if the product is zero then so are its pieces and Factoring.
9a² = 16a
9a² - 16a = 0 <-----subtract 16a from both sides
a (9a - 16) = 0 <-----factor the common a on the left side
a = 0 OR 9a - 16 =0 <----apply Zero Product Property
Since a = 0 is already solved we work on the other equation.
9a - 16 = 0
9a = 16 <----------- add 16 to both sides
a = 16/9 <----------- divide both sides by 9
Thus a = 0 or a = 16/9
B.
You can get this by using the quadratic equation, which I listed below.
With a = 2, b = 1, c = -45
10.417 rounded to the nearest hundredth = 10.42
Answer:
When x is -6, y will be 18
When x is -5 y will be 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a proportion
y/x
-9/3 = x/-6 What do we need to multiply 3 by to get 6? -2, so we will multiply -9 by -2 to get 18
Some people like to solve by cross multiplying.
That would give us
(-9)(-6) = 3x
54 = 3x divide both sides by 3
18 = x
Set up the second problem as a proportion
-9/3 = x/-5 This is a little trickier. I am trying to think what I have to multiply 3 by to get -5. 3(-5/3) will give me -5, so I will multiply the top number that I know (-9) by (-5/3) to find my x.
(-9)(-5/3) = 45/3 or 15
