Find the dimensions of a rectangle whose perimeter is 18 meters and whose area is 20 square meters.

1 answer:

8 0

Call the length L and there width W. then perimeter is 2L+2W=18. area is LW=20.

2L+2W=18
L+W=9
LW=20
L=9-W
(9-W)W=20
W²-9W+20=0
(W-5)(W-4)=0
W=4,5

rectangle is 4by5

12x +10+3+8x ? What do I have to do ?

Annette [7]

Simplifying

12x + 10 + 3 + 8x = 0

Reorder the terms:

10 + 3 + 12x + 8x = 0

Combine like terms: 10 + 3 = 13

13 + 12x + 8x = 0

Combine like terms: 12x + 8x = 20x

13 + 20x = 0

Solving

13 + 20x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.

13 + -13 + 20x = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0

0 + 20x = 0 + -13

20x = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13

20x = -13

Divide each side by '20'.

x = -0.65

Simplifying

x = -0.65

The table below represents a function. Which of the following equations could be its function rule?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

$y=2x-2$ is the required equation.

Therefore, the second option is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation of a linear function is given by

$y=mx+b$

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Taking two points (0, -2) and (1, 0) from the table to determine the slope using the formula

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:0\right)$

$m=\frac{0-\left(-2\right)}{1-0}$

$m=2$

substituting the point (0, -2) and the slope m=2 in the slope-intercept form to determine the y-intercept i.e. 'b'.

$y=mx+b$

$-2 = 2(0)+b$

$-2=0+b$

$b=-2$

Now, substituting the values of m=2 and b=-2 in the slope-intercept form to determine the equation of a linear function

$y=mx+b$

$y=2x+(-2)$

$y=2x-2$

Thus, $y=2x-2$ is the required equation.

Therefore, the second option is true.
