Let s original sides, l length, w width:

s+8=l

s-3=w

lw= 126in²

substitute:

(s+8)(s-3)=126

s²+5s-24=126

s²+5x-150=0

(s-10)(s+15)

s=10

each side is 10 inches

A turtle is 20 5/6 inches below the surface of a pond. It dives to a depth of 32 1/4 inches. What is the change in the turtle’s
Naddik [55]
Change=new-original
change=32 and 1/4-20 and 5/6
32 and 1/4-20 and 5/6=
32+1/4-(20+5/6)=
32+1/4-20-5/6=
32-20+1/4-5/6=
1/4 and 5/6
LCD=12
1/4 times 3/3=3/12
5/6 times 2/2=10/12

32-10+3/12-10/12=
12-7/12=
11+12/12-7/12=
11+5/12
the turtle went down so the change is negative

the change is -11 and 5/12 inches

Question 8 of 25<br> Which of the following is the quotient of the rational expressions shown here?
Alla [95]

Answer:

  B.  (5x+5)/(x²-2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

As with numerical fractions, division by a rational expression is equivalent to multiplication by its reciprocal.

<h3>As a multiplication problem</h3>

  \dfrac{5}{x-2}\div\dfrac{x}{x+1}=\dfrac{5}{x-2}\times\dfrac{x+1}{x}

<h3>Product of rational expressions</h3>

As with numerical fractions, the product is the product of numerators, divided by the product of denominators.

  =\dfrac{5(x+1)}{x(x-2)}=\boxed{\dfrac{5x+5}{x^2-2x}}

Y=10x, 10 is the amount of money Miranda earns per hour , x is the amount of hours she works, y is the total amount of money she earns.
For Tommy’s earnings, use slope formula, which is y=y2-y1/x2-x1, take two random points from the table, (4,32) and (5,40)
(4,32) is (x1,y1). (5,40) is (x2,y2)
40-32/5-4= 8/1
The answer is 8. y=8x
Miranda earns more money per hour than Tommy.
