For starters, create an equation to show David's earnings. We can do this using Danielle's as a basis, which is set up as y=(# of hours)x+(bonus). This gives us y=12x+80. Now, as we need both their ys to be equal, we just set both equations equal to each other, making 15x+50=12x+80. Now, we solve for x, starting with 15x+50=12x+80, subtracting 12x from both sides to get 3x+50=80, subtracting 50 from both sides to get 3x=30, and dividing three from both sides to get x=10. To check, we just plug in our answer to both equations and see if the ys match up. With Danielle's equation, we get y=15(10)+50=150+50=200 and with David's equation, we get y=12(10)+80=120+80=200, proving that our answer is correct.
You have to get the x to one side so you'll subtract 3x from -6x and 3x from 3x, the 3x will cancel out and -6x - 3x is -9x-7=11, you have to add 7 from both sides the 7+7 cancels out and also add 11+7 which leaves -9x=18, you have to divide -9x/-9 and do 18/-9, which gets you x=-2. Here's the work shown if you didn't what i said...
-6x-7=3x+11
-3x -3x
-9x-7=11
+7 +7
-9x=18
-9 -9
x=-2
Answer:
-1 + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
i did the math
Let b= length and a=width
Area= a*b and the problem said b=2a+3 (the length is 3ft more than double the width)
Replace b into Area formula:
Area= a*(2a+3) and we know that Area=77ft from the problem, so:
77=2a^2+3a now order and equal to zero:
2a^2+3a=77 now solve this with quadratic formula and you will get so values for a: -7ft and 5.5ft as you know the dimensions could not be negative so the correct answer for "a" side is 5.5ft, for getting the b side you haeve to replace a=5.5 into b=2a+3 and you will get b=2*5.5+3= 14ft.
Finished.
