Check the picture below

it can't be -3... since is width unit, so it has to be the other

and recall that length = 2w - 5

5 cm less than twice the width: 

l = 2w - 5

A = lw

33 = lw 

33 = (2w - 5)(w)

33 = 2w^2 - 5w

2w^2 - 5w - 33 = 0


w = 5.5, -3

-3 is an extraneous solution, so the only answer is w = 5.5

33 = 5.5l

\frac {33}{5.5} = ( \frac{5.5}{5.5})(l)


6 = l

The dimensions of the rectangle are a length of 6, and a width of 5.5

A recipe calls for 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil and 3/4 tablespoons of vinegar. What is the ratio of oil to vinegar in this recipe?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

10:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Make 2 1/2 an improper fraction, you will get 5/2. You dont have to do anything to the 3/4.

For you to find the ratio of an fraction, you have to take the numerator but the denominator has to be the same.

So make 5/2 to a 10/4.

Take the numerator 10 & 3.

Your answer will be 10:3

No problem.

Find the greatest common factor of 63 and 96
julia-pushkina [17]
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 63 and 96 is: 3

To find the GCF, list all the factors until that go up to 63 since that is the minimum.
Factors of 63: 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63
Factors of 96: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48

Find the common factors between the two numbers which are 1 and 3. Now, which one of those numbers are the greatest/highest? The answer is 3.

What are the measures of angles P and S? ∠P = 20°; ∠S = 160° ∠P = 40°; ∠S = 140° ∠P = 140°; ∠S = 40° ∠P = 160°; ∠S = 20°
strojnjashka [21]

*see attachement for diagram

Answer:

∠P = 140°; ∠S = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given is a parallelogram.

Consecutive angles (adjacent angles) of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Therefore:

(x + 15)° + (6x - 10)° = 180°

Solve for x

x + 15 + 6x - 10 = 180

Add like terms

7x + 5 = 180

7x = 180 - 5

7x = 175

x = 175/7

x = 25

✔️m<P = m<R = 6x - 10 (opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent)

m<P = 6x - 10

Plug in the value of x

m<P = 6(25) - 10 = 140°

✔️m<S = m<Q = x + 15 (opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent)

m<S = x + 15 = 25 + 15 = 40°
