Answer:

Dimensions of the rug = 13 ft × 26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the room = 21 ft × 34 ft

Area of the room = 21 × 34 = 714 ft²

Cynthia wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug.

Let the width of the rug = x ft

Then the dimensions of the rug will be = (21- 2x)ft × (34 - 2x)ft

Area of the rug = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x) square feet

338 = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x)

338 = 714 - 68x - 42x + 4x²

4x² - 110x + 714 - 338 = 0

4x² - 110x + 376 = 0

2x² - 55x + 188 = 0

2x² - 47x - 8x + 188 = 0

x(2x - 47) - 8(x - 47) = 0  

(x - 4)(2x - 47) = 0

x = 4, \frac{47}{2}

For x = 23.5 area of the rug will be negative.

Therefore, x = 4 ft will be the width of the rug.

Dimensions of the rug will be 13 ft × 26 ft.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -8) and has a slope of 1/3
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in point-slope form)</u>:

y + 8 = \frac{1}{3} (x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, y-y_1 = m (x-x_1), to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the m , x_1, and y_1 in the formula to do so.

The m represents the slope, so substitute \frac{1}{3} in its place. The x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for x_1 and -8 for y_1. This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:  

y-(-8) = \frac{1}{3} (x-(-6))\\y + 8 = \frac{1}{3} (x+6)

Jillian worked her 40 regular hours last week, plus 2 overtime hours at a time-and-a-half rate. Her gross pay was $516. What was
Effectus [21]

Its hourly rate of Jillian is 12 hours.

Here we have to find the hourly rate.

Let h be the hourly rate. As it is given that overtime is a time and a half rate.

So the overtime hour is 1.5h.

The total amount Jillian get is $516.

So from this, we get an equation:

40h + 2(1.5h) = 516

40h + 3h = 516

43h = 516

h = 12

Therefore we get the hourly rate as 12.

To know more about the equation refer to the link given below:
