Problem
The perimeter of a rectangle is less than 10 inches. The length is x and the width is x - 5. If the solution is x<5, ThEn the length is less than 5. Is this viable solution.
Solution
For this case the perimete rof a rectangle is given by:
P= 2x+2y
x= lenght y = width
And we also know that y= x-5
And replacing the condition given: P<10 we got:
2x +2y <10
2x +2(x-5)<10
4x -10 >10
And we can rewrite as:
4x >20
x>5
So then the best answer would be:
B. non viable

Answer:
Q1:14 Q2:8903.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I find that using equations to solve problems makes it a lot easier.
The first company's equation would be y=5743+225.75x because 5743 is the set fee and 225.75 is for each ton of sugar. The second company would be y=7500+100.25x for the same reasons.
So we need to find a value of x that works for each company and a value of y that is the same for the cost.
Now we combine them.
Solve for x:
5743+225.75x=7500+100.25x
-5743 -5743
225.75x= 1757+100.25x
-100.25x -100.25x
125.50x=1757
/125.5 /125.5
x=14
Therefore, for Q1, the answer is 14.
Now we solve for y by substituting x for 14.
5743+225.75(14)
5743+3160.5
8903.5
We can also check this with the other equation
7500+100.25(14)
7500+1403.5
8903.5
So therefore, the answer to Q2 would be 8903.5.
Answer: y = (x-2)/3
This is equivalent to y = (1/3)x - 2/3
=================================================
To get this answer, we need to swap x and y in the original equation. Then solve for y to get the inverse.
y = 3x+2
x = 3y + 2 ... x and y swapped
x-2 = 3y
3y = x-2
y = (x-2)/3
y = x/3 - 2/3
y = (1/3)x - 2/3
This final equation has slope 1/3 and y intercept -2/3
