15-t + 8t = -13
15 + 7t = -13
7t = -13-15
7t = -28
t = -4
4a + 11-a = 2
3a = 2-11
3a = -9
a = -3
Answer:
There are two possible values for r (area): r =-7 or r=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the rectangular rug area is:
We have to convert the above equation into factored form.
So two numbers whose product is -21r² and sum is -4r
<=>
= 
= r (r -7) + 3(r -7)
= (r-7)(r+3)
We set
= 0
<=> (r-7)(r+3) = 0
<=> (r-7) = 0 or (r+3) = 0
<=> r =-7 or r=3
So, there are two possible values for r (area): r =-7 or r=3
4) 62.8 cm^2
5) It is quadrupled
-- 44% of the people surveyed preferred WWCN.
-- 22% of the people surveyed preferred WANR.
-- The difference is 22% of the people surveyed.
That's how many MORE of the people surveyed
preferred WWCN than WANR.
-- 22% of the people surveyed is 22% of 400 people = 88 people .
Strange as it may seem, "88" is not one of the choices.
Go figure !
And how come the breakdown of the answers to the survey
adds up to 103% ? Did 12 of the surveyed people have
more than one favorite ? ?
