Answer:

y = ± 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y : 24 = 6 : y, or in fraction form

$\frac{y}{24}$ = $\frac{6}{y}$ ( cross- multiply )

y² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = ± $\sqrt{144}$ = ± 12

Alicia cashed her paycheck and used half her earnings to take three friends out to dinner. She spent $42.15 and she brought home

Phoenix [80]

If you would like to write an inequality to represent the situation, using X to represent the amount of Alicia's paycheck, you can calculate this using the following steps:

X ... the amount of Alicia's paycheck

X/2 - $42.15 >= $20
X/2 >= $20 + $42.15
X/2 >= $62.15 /*2
X >= $62.15 * 2
X >= $124.3

The correct result would be <span>X >= $124.3</span>.

The length of a rectangular mural is 2ft. more than three times the width the area is 165 sq. ft. Find the Width And Length

olga nikolaevna [1]

We know that the formula for the area of a rectangle is:

$A=lw$

We know that the area is 165. Now we need to solve for the dimensions.

Let the width of the rectangle be " $x$ "

Then the length of the rectangle is $3x+2$

Substitute.

$(3x+2)(x)=156$

Multiply the terms.

$3x^2+2x=156$

Bring the 156 over.

$3x^2+2x-156=0$

We have to use the quadratic formula to solve this now. Let us restate it:

$x= \frac{-b± \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Now I'm going to fast forward this because all the rest is boring stuff and substitution. The answer is:

$\frac{ \sqrt{469}-1 }{3}$

Since we cannot have a negative answer, we must cancel out the other answer, which I did not include.

Hope this helped! :)
