The answer would by -9 since you subtracted 9 from 5 which decreased the value of y.

"the answer would be -9 since you subtracted 9 from 5 which decreased the value of y."

how is it negative 9 if you were to subtract 9 - 5 it would be 4
and if you were to subtract 5 - 9 it would be negative 4

A typical airplane flies at an altitude of 38,000 feet. Part A: Write an integer to represent an airplane's altitude.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

+ 38,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Altitude of airplane = 38,000

The altitude of an object such as airplane in this scenario refers to the height of the airplane above sea level. The sea level is represented as a zero point (mid level) such that distance below are negative and those above are positive.

Hence, at an altitude of 38000 feets, altitude of airplane can be represented as +38,000 feets.

A factory is to be built on a lot measuring 210 ft by 280 ft. A local building code specifies that a lawn of uniform width and e

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Width of lawn = 35 ft

Dimensions of factory = length: 210 ft, width: 140 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of the lot can be calculated as:

$A_{lot} = 210 * 280\\A_{lot} = 58800 ft^{2}$

Since, the area of factory should be equal to area of lawn:

$A_{lot} = A_{factory} + A_{lawn}\\58800 = 2 A_{factory or lawn}\\\\A_{factory or lawn} = \frac{58800}{2}\\A_{factory or lawn} = 29400 ft^{2}$

Now, let 'x' be the width of lawn, the dimensions of factory can be written as:

$(210-2x)\\(280-2x)\\$

Since, area is equal to length x width:

$(210-2x)*(280-2x) = 29400\\Simplifying:\\210*280 - 210*2x - 2x*280 + 4x^{2} = 29400\\58800 - 420x - 560x +4x^{2} = 29400\\4x^{2} - 980x +58800 = 29400\\4x^{2} - 980x + 29400 = 0\\$
