A = l*w
l = 2w + 4
400 = (2w + 4)*w
0 = 2w^2 + 4w - 400

Then use the quadratic equation where a=2, b=4, and c=-400.

w = <span>13.2
l = 30.4
</span>

How do you solve for Y in x=5 +8y-8

Rzqust [24]

x = 5 + 8y - 8

Combine like terms.

x = -3 + 8y

Add 3 to both sides.

x + 3 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8.

y = $\frac{x+3}{8}$

Express p in terms of q if

Irina-Kira [14]

$p=x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\qquad(*)$

$q=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\q^2=\left(\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\right)^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2+1)^2}{x^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(1)+1^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+2x^2+1}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+\dfrac{2x^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\q^2-2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\\\\\text{From (*) we have}\\\\\boxed{p=q^2-2}$

Find the markup and the cost of the following item. Round answers to the nearest cent.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

1st question: M=22.62 while C=75.38

2nd question: M=.22 while C=1.97

Step-by-step explanation:

If a mirror costing x dollars is marked up 30%, then we have to find x such that 30%x+x is 98 dollars.

We are solving:

.3x+x=98

Combine like terms:

1.3x=98

Divide both sides by 1.3:

x=75.38

M=98-75.38=22.62

C=75.38

So M=22.62 while C=75.38.

If ream of paper cost x and is marked up 11%, then we have to find x such that 11%x+x is 2.19.

We are solving:

.11x+x=2.19

1.11x=2.19

x=1 97

M=2.19-1.97=.22

So M=.22 while C=1.97

The value of x varies with y and when x=1/3 y=12 write an equationto represent the variation

Virty [35]

Answer:

y = 36x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x and y vary directly then the equation relating the is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = $\frac{1}{3}$ , y = 12, then

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{12}{\frac{1}{3} }$ = 12 × 3 = 36

y = 36x ← equation of variation
