Yes.  Changing the the word problem into a function, you get 30x=y.

30 = Fixed Length

x = width

y = area

No matter what width (x) you choose, the area (y) is going to be a multiple of 30 (the fixed length) because with two numbers being multiplied, if there is a fixed number that will always be the multiple and not the multiplier.  For example, 10 multiplied by every number 1-10 is going to be a multiple of 10.

10x1=10, 10x2=20, 10x3=30, etc

So if Tom chooses any of these widths (x) 5, 10, or 15, y (the area) will be a multiple of 30.

30(5)=150

30(10)=300

30(15)=450

So as we double 5 to get 10, our outcome is doubled 150 to 300 and so forth.  Hope this helps.

What is 500000 and 60000000 as a decimal
Juliette [100K]

The only way to make a decimal out of either of those numbers is to write a decimal point with some zeros after it.

500,000  =  500,000.000

60,000,000  =  60,000,000.00000

etc.

How many solutions do you think the equation -10x+3=5x-27 has? Explain. Then, find the solution(s).
deff fn [24]
This will only have one solution because it does not deal with a quadratic. Then to isolate x you need to get the similar terms on different sides by subtracting or adding, Then divide both sides by the number next to x (coefficient).

How many feet does a car traveling at 57 mph cover in one hour? In one minute? In one second?
Shkiper50 [21]

Hello!

We have to find how fast the car goes a minute

To find this we can do 57/60 since the car goes 57 miles an hour and there are 60 minutes in an hour

This gives us 0.95 miles a minutes
