Answer:

Billy used 28 mins 30 sec to mow the lawn and Bobby used 43 mins 30 sec to now the lawn both within 72 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent Billy

let x+15 represent Bobby

x + x + 15 = 72

2x = 72 - 15

2x = 57

2x/2 = 57/2

x = 28.5 minutes = 28 minutes 30 seconds

Bobby = x + 15

= 28.5 + 15

= 43.5 minutes= 43 minutes 30 seconds

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y = 12 and passes through the point (−2, 4)?

GrogVix [38]

First find the slope of the given line like this:
$5x + 2y = 12\\2y=-5x+12\\y=\frac{-5}{2}x+6$
If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope, so the equation we are looking for is in the form:
$y=\frac{-5}{2}x+a$ and we have to find b using the given point like this:
Substitute x = -2 and y=4 in the above equation like this and solve for a:
$4=\frac{-5}{2}(-2)+a$
$4=5+a$
$a=4-5=-1$
The equation of the line is then the following:
$y=\frac{-5}{2}x-1.$

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units

olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=x*y$

$A=64\ units^{2}$

so

$x*y=64$ --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

<u>case 1)</u> For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/64$

$y=1\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

<u>case 2)</u> For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/32$

$y=2\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

<u>case 3)</u> For x=16 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/16$

$y=4\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

<u>case 4)</u> For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/30$

$y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

<u>case 5)</u> For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/40$

$y=1.60\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

<u>case 6)</u> For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/60$

$y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 6
