Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
7/8 and 9/16
7*2/8*2 = 14/16
14/16 and 9/16
Now since we have a common denominator, we can compare the numerators.
14/16 is greater, so 7/8 is greater than 9/16
Answer: 7/8 is bigger
Answer: 30.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(2, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - 5y = - 9 → (1)
x + 2y = 8 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term, that is
- 3x - 6y = - 24 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
(3x - 3x) + (- 5y - 6y) = (- 9 - 24), that is
- 11y = - 33 ( divide both sides by - 11 )
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting in (2)
x + 2(3) = 8
x + 6 = 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = 2
Solution is (2, 3 )
Hi there!
Since
16 ounces = 1 pound,
We should divide 1480 by 16 and see if it equals 92.5.
1480 ÷ 16 = 92.5
92.5 = 92.5
Answer:
Yes.
Hope this helps!
