Y= (2x-20)/ 5 then you replace y so with a simple calculation u get x than u replace x with it value to get y as simple as that
Answer: -9 and 7
explanation:
-9+7=-2
-9x7=-63
1/3b = 4/5
Do the cross multiplication
1(5) = 3b(4)
5=12b
<span>b=5/12</span>
Answer:
13/20 of her money was spent.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer you have to add these two fractions together, and to do that you must find a common denominator.
For this problem I chose to use 20 for the denominator since it is the smallest number that both 4 and 5 have in common.
Keep in mind that, whatever you do to the denominator, you must also do to the numerator, so if you multiply 5 by 4, you must also multiply 2 by 4.
5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20
Answer:
L=21.6in and w=13.6
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length is 8 inches longer than its width, we can write the width as "w" and the length as the width w+ 8
Area is (width)(Length) = (width)(width+8)
W
----------
| |
| |
| | L = w+8

-----------
A = (w+8)(w)
A = w2 + 8w = 295.
(Problem states that area is 295 sq in)
Need to solve this quadratic equation
w2 +8y - 295 = 0
Factor:
(w - 13.64) (w + 21.64) = 0
So
w - 13.64 = 0. or. w + 21.64= 0
Solve these and get
w = 13.64. or. w = -21.64
Only one that makes sense in real life is the poitive one.
So the dimensions are
Width = 13.64 inches
Length = 21.64 inches
