Answer:

Since he can't work a fraction of a day, he'll have to work at least 6 days to have enough money for the tank. The inequality hat represents his situation is 23*x + 20 >=140.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to create an inequality to this problem we first need to take the initial amount he has and sum it with the days he has to work "x" multiplied by the amount he earns each day. We then have:

saleem money = 20 + 23*x

Since he wants to buy a $140 fish tank he needs to work until his money is greater or equal than this amount. So we have:

23*x + 20 >= 140

23*x >= 140 -20

23*x >= 120

x >= 120/23

x >= 5.22

Since he can't work a fraction of a day, he'll have to work at least 6 days to have enough money for the tank. The inequality hat represents his situation is 23*x + 20 >=140.

Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided graph.
Dominik [7]

Answer:

  see below. The solution is the doubly-shaded area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each boundary line will be dashed, because the "or equal to" case is <em>not included</em>. Each shaded area will be above the corresponding boundary line because the comparison symbol is y > .... That is, only y-values greater than (above) those in the boundary line are part of the solution.

Of course, the boundary lines are graphed in the usual way. Each crosses the y-axis at the value of the constant in its equation. Each has a slope (rise/run) that is the value of the x-coefficient in the equation.

A rectangular building has a perimeter of 208 meters. It’s area is 2415 square meters. What are the dimensions of the building?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 208 m

2*(l + w) = 208  {divide both sides by 2}

l +w = 208/2

l +w = 104

l = 104 - w

Area of rectangle = 2415 square meters

l*w = 2415

Substitute l = 104 - w in the above equation,

(104 - w ) *w = 2415

104w - w² = 2415

0 = 2415 - 104w + w²

w² - 104w + 2415 = 0

Sum = -104

Product  = 2415

Factors = (-69) , (-35)

w² - 35w - 69w + (-69)*(-35) = 0

w(w - 35) - 69(w - 35) = 0

(w -35)(w -69)

w - 35 = 0    ; w  -69 = 0

w = 35    ; w = 69

The dimensions of the building: 35 , 69
