If length is 42 inches, then width is 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given ratio of width to the length of a painting i.e 3 to 7. If the painting is 42 inches long, then how wide it is?

Solving:

$\frac{width}{length}=\frac{width}{length}\\ \frac{3}{7}=\frac{w}{42}\\ Cross\,\,multiply:\\3*42=w*7\\126=w*7\\w=\frac{126}{7}\\w=18$

So, If length is 42 inches, then width is 18 inches.

Solve the following equations: 5x-(x+2)^2=x^2-8+x

Blababa [14]

Answer:

x = √2 = 1.414

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-(x+2)^2=x^2-8+x

since (x+2)^2 = x^2 + 2(x)(2) + 2^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4

5x - (x^2 + 4x + 4) = x^2 + x - 8

-x^2 + x - 4 = x^2 + x - 8

x^2 + x^2 + x - x = -4 + 8

2x^2 = 4

x^2 = 2

x = √2 = 1.414

Ann [662]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

69 + 15h = 39h

69 = 39h - 15h

69 = 24h

69/24 = h

2.875 hrs <======

69 + 15(2.875) = 39(2.875)

69 + 43.125 = 112.125

Solve both by substitution method (algebra 2) and show work please -2x-7y=22 -7x-5y=-1

Alex17521 [72]

$\bf \begin{cases}
-2x-7y=22\\
-7x-5y=-1
\end{cases}\qquad \textit{let's solve the \underline{second one} for "x"}
\\\\\\
-7x-5y=-1\implies -7x=5y-1\implies x=\cfrac{5y-1}{-7}
\\\\\\
\boxed{x=\cfrac{1-5y}{7}}\impliedby \textit{now, let's substitute it in the \underline{first one}}
\\\\\\$

$\bf -2\left( \frac{1-5y}{7} \right)-7y=22\implies \cfrac{10y-2}{7}-7y=22
\\\\\\
\textit{now, let's multiply both sides by 7, to toss the denominator}
\\\\\\
7\left( \cfrac{10y-2}{7}-7y \right)=7(22)\implies 10y-2-49y=154
\\\\\\
-39y=156\implies y=\cfrac{154}{-39}\implies \boxed{y=-4}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, let's use that in the \underline{first one}}
\\\\\\
-2x-7(-4)=22\implies -2x+28=22\implies 6=2x\implies \cfrac{6}{2}=x
\\\\\\
\boxed{3=x}$
