Since the width is the smaller value, make the width=x. That would make the length=2x-3. Area=length*width. Substitute your variables and known values into the equation. 14=(2x-3)(x). Distribute the x to give you 14=2 x^{2} -3x. Set the equation equal to 0 giving you 2 x^{2} -3x-14=0. Factor the equation to give you (2x-7)(x+2)=0. Set each factor equal to 0 and solve. 2x-7=0 gives you x=7/2 & x+2=0 gives you x=-2. Since we're working with lengths and widths, the answer cannot be negative. Therefore, your width equals 7/2. To find the length, substitute 7/2 into the original expression for length (2x-3). That gives you 2*(7/2)-3=7-3=4. The length is 4.

Li’s brother used the work shown to determine that he must grow at most 6 inches to be able to ride the roller coaster. Is this
miv72 [106K]
No, the work is correct, but the interpretation is not. “6 is less than or equal to h<span>” means that h is greater than or equal to 6. He must grow at least 6 inches, not at most 6 inches.</span>

A die is loaded so that the number 6 comes up three times as often as any other number. what is the probability of rolling a 1 o
Mila [183]

Answer:

1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability totals must add up to 1.

P = probability.

If P(any number other than 6) = x,  then P(6) = 3x, so

3x + 5x = 1

x = 1/8

P(6) = 3/8 and P(not 6) = 1/8

Therefore P(6 or 1) = 3/8 + 1/8 = 1/2 (answer).

Equation of slope 4, through (7,2)
Crazy boy [7]
Y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
 y - 2 = 4(x - 7)
 y - 2 = 4(x) - 4(7)
 y - 2 = 4x - 28
   + 2          + 2
      y = 4x - 26
