Write equations for the given information to solve (using J for Jeanine and M for Marc):
J=2M
J+M= 24
Now substitute 2M in for J in the second equation:
2M+M=24, 3M=24, M=8
Remember that J=2M, so if M=8, J=16.
So Jeanine is 16 and Marc is 8

The scale factor for two similar rectangles is 4. If the area of the smaller rectangle 7m^2, what is the area of the larger rect
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

A. 112 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale factor is 4, the area of the larger figure is 4^2 times that of the smaller one.

... (7 m^2)·4^2 = 112 m^2

_____

The scale factor for area is the square of the scale factor for linear dimensions. When we talk about a scale factor without qualification, we mean the scale factor for linear dimensions.

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2)? (–4, 0) (–2, 0) (0, 2) (4, –2)
son4ous [18]
<span>f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2),
x-intercept means that f(x) = 0.

0 = (x-4)(x+2)
(x-4)=0, x= 4, point (4,0)
(x+2)=0, x = -2, point (-2,0)

This graph has 2 x-intercepts:  (4,0) and (-2,0).

From given answers we can choose only </span>(-2,0).

A student solves the following equation and
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

\frac{3}{a+2}-6\cdot \frac{a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}

\frac{3}{a+2}-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}

\mathrm{Find\:Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}a+2,\:-4+a^2,\:a-2:\quad \left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)

\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:LCM=}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)

\frac{3}{a+2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)=\frac{1}{a-2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)

as

  • \frac{3}{a+2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad 3\left(a-2\right)
  • -\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad -6a
  • \frac{1}{a-2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad a+2

so equation becomes

3\left(a-2\right)-6a=a+2  

-3a-6=a+2

-3a-6+6=a+2+6

-4a=8

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-4

\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{8}{-4}

a=-2

\mathrm{Verify\:Solutions}

\mathrm{Take\:the\:denominator\left(s\right)\:of\:}\frac{3}{a+2}-6\frac{a}{-4+a^2}-\frac{1}{a-2}\mathrm{\:and\:compare\:to\:zero}

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:a+2=0:\quad a=-2

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:-4+a^2=0:\quad a=2,\:a=-2

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:a-2=0:\quad a=2

So the following points are undefined

a=-2,\:a=2

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.

Help please, i really need it because its almost due
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

D sqrt( A ) sqrt(pi) / pi = r

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2

To find r

Divide each side of the equation by pi

A / pi = pi r^2 /pi

A / pi =  r^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(A / pi )= sqrt( r^2)

sqrt(A / pi )= r

We do not like leaving square roots in the denominator, so multiply by sqrt(pi)/sqrt(pi))

sqrt(A / pi ) *sqrt(pi)/sqrt(pi))

sqrt( A ) sqrt(pi) / pi = r
