Answer:

36 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

Data:

A = 864 ft²

 l = length of basement

w = ⅔l

Calculations:

864 = l × ⅔l

864 = ⅔l²

Multiply each side by 3:               2592 = 2l²

Divide each side by 2:                  1296 = l²

Take the square root of each side:     l = 36

The length of the basement is 36 ft.

Check:

w = ⅔l = 24 ft

864 = 36 × 24

864 = 864

Which of the following graphs best represents the solution to the pair of equations below? y = −x + 6 y = 2x − 3 A coordinate pl
Lera25 [3.4K]
The lines are 

i)  y=-x+6
ii) y=2x-3

The solution of the system of equations is found by equalizing the 2 equations:

-x+6=2x-3

-2x-x=-6-3

-3x=-9

x=-9/(-3)=3

substitute x=3 in either i) or ii):

i)  y=-3+6=3
ii) y=2(3)-3=6-3=3

(the result is the same, so checking one is enough)

This means that the point (3, 3) is a point which is in both lines, so a solution to the system.

In graphs, this means that the lines intersect at (3, 3) ONLY


Answer: The graph where the lines intersect at (3, 3)

What is the value of x 2.5(12.75x + 24.50)=188.75
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Divide by 2.5: 2.5(12.75x+24.50)/2.5 = 188.75/2.5 .

simplify: 12.75x + 24.50=75.5 .

subtract 24.50 from both sides

simplify: 12.75x = 51 .

x= 4.

.For a hockey game, tickets are $220 for
Romashka [77]

Answer:

900 front row seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Tickets for front row seat = 220 dollars (y)

Cost of remaining seats ticket = 50 dollars (z)

Number of front row seats = x

Number of remaining seats = 2050 (w)

Total amount earned when stadium is full = 300,500 dollars (T)

so if we formulate this using our variables y,z,x,w and T problem it becomes:

y*x + z*w = T, which says the

Tickets for front row seat times Number of front row seats plus Cost of remaining seats ticket times Number of remaining seats gives us Total amount earned by the stadium.

220*x + 2050*50 = 300500

220*x = 300500-102500

220*x = 198000

divide both side by 220

x = 900

Rosie wrote this expression to describe the amount she paid for each yoga class. Which situation could be described by this expr
kumpel [21]
If Rosie is trying to figure out the amount that she needs to pay for her total yoga classes.

First, we need to establish what we know, and what we do not know.
We know that Rosie knows how many yoga classes she has.
We know that she knows how many yoga classes she bought.
She does not know how much each yoga class costs.

So, that cancels out A, B, and C because she doesn't know how much one yoga class costs.

It can only be D, because D  tells us that she knows the total is $30, but not the amount each class costs.

Find the product.<br> (5x² – 4x+6)(–2x+3) =<br> 0
Nady [450]

Answer:

x = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

(5 x^2 - 4 x + 6) (3 - 2 x) = 0

Split into two equations:

3 - 2 x = 0 or 5 x^2 - 4 x + 6 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

2 x - 3 = 0 or 5 x^2 - 4 x + 6 = 0

Add 3 to both sides:

2 x = 3 or 5 x^2 - 4 x + 6 = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 3/2 or 5 x^2 - 4 x + 6 = 0

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 3/2 or x^2 - (4 x)/5 + 6/5 = 0

Subtract 6/5 from both sides:

x = 3/2 or x^2 - (4 x)/5 = -6/5

Add 4/25 to both sides:

x = 3/2 or x^2 - (4 x)/5 + 4/25 = -26/25

Write the left hand side as a square:

x = 3/2 or (x - 2/5)^2 = -26/25

(x - 2/5)^2 = -26/25 has no solution since for all x on the real line, (x - 2/5)^2 >=0 and -26/25<0:

Answer:  x = 3/2
