Answer:
Martin family: 20 hours
Lewis family: 35 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the Lewis family sprinklers were out for L hours and the Martin family's sprinklers were out for M hours. We know that for each hour that the Lewis family sprinkler was on, 30L of water was put out. We can thus write the Lewis family sprinkler water output as 30L per each hour of L = 30 * L. Similarly, the Martin family sprinkler water output = 15 * M .
We know that the total hours for the sprinklers is 55, so L + M = 55. The total water output for the sprinklers is the sum of the sprinkler outputs, so 30 * L + 15 * M = 1350
L + M = 55
30 * L + 15 * M = 1350
One way to solve this would be to solve for L in the first equation and substitute that into the second
subtract M from both sides in the second equation
55 - M = L
30 * (55-M) + 15 * M = 1350
30 * 55 - 30 * M + 15 * M = 1350
1650 - 15M = 1350
subtract 1650 from both sides to isolate the M and its coefficient
-15M = -300
divide both sides by -15 to isolate M
M = 20
L = 55-20 = 35
To find the area of the arena, you will need to find the areas of the rectangular spaces and the 2 semicircles. Because the formulas are given, I will just substitute in the values and show the work for finding the areas.
To find the perimeter, you will look at the distances of lines that take you around the space. Because two of these spaces are half circles, you will need to find the circumference of the full circle.
Also, the answers need to be given in meters, so all units given in centimeters will be divided by 100 to convert them to meters.
Perimeter:
C= 3.14 x 20 m
C = 62.8 meters
62.8 + 8 + 25 + 8 + 5 + 8 + 10 + 8 + 40= 174.8 meters for the Perimeter
Area:
A = 25 x 8
A = 200 square meters
A = 10 x 8
A = 80 square meters
A = 20 x 40
A = 800 square meters
A = 3.14 x 10^2
A = 314 square meters
Total Area: 314 + 800 + 80 + 200= 1394 square meters
If by 4x(2) you mean 4x to the power 2 or 4x^2...it can be solved in the following way
f(x)=4x^2-4x-3
=4x^2+2x-6x-3
=2x(2x+2)-3(2x+2)
=(2x-3)(2x+2)
Therefore x=3/2 or x=-2/2=(-1)
Answer:
LN = 64 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given M lies on LN, so LN = LM + MN --------------(1)
LN = 12x + 16
LM = 10x + 8
MN = 5x - 4
Substituting the values in equation 1, we get:
12x + 16 = (10x + 8) + (5x - 4)
12x + 16 = 15x + 4
15x - 12x = 16 -4
3x=12
Therefore x=4
LN= 12(4) + 16 = 64 units
14 is a multiple of 7 and 14
