Answer:

It would take you 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed (s) = Distance (d) / Time (t)

given that; Speed = 42 miles/hour

Distance = 361 miles

42 miles/hour = 361 miles / Time (t)

Time (t) * 42 miles/hour = 361 miles

Time (t) = 361 miles / 42 miles/hour

Time (t) = 8.59 hours

≈ 9 hours (to the nearest hour)

The width of a container is 5 feet less than its height. Its length is 1 foot longer than its height. The volume of the containe

juin [17]

The height of container is 8 feet

Solution:

Let "w" be the width of container

Let "l" be the length of container

Let "h" be the height of container

The width of a container is 5 feet less than its height

Therefore,

width = height - 5

w = h - 5 ------ eqn 1

Its length is 1 foot longer than its height

length = 1 + height

l = 1 + h ---------- eqn 2

The volume of container is given as:

$v = length \times width \times height$

Given that volume of the container is 216 cubic feet

$216 = l \times w \times h$

Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2 in above formula

$216 = (1 + h) \times (h-5) \times h\\\\216 = (h+h^2)(h-5)\\\\216 = h^2-5h+h^3-5h^2\\\\216 = h^3-4h^2-5h\\\\h^3-4h^2-5h-216 = 0$

Solve by factoring

$(h-8)(h^2+4h+27) = 0$

Use the zero factor principle

If ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0 ( or both a = 0 and b = 0)

Therefore,

$h - 8 = 0\\\\h = 8$

Also,

$h^2+4h+27 = 0$

Solve by quadratic equation formula

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0\\\\x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

$\mathrm{For\:} a=1,\:b=4,\:c=27:\quad h=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{4^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:27}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$h = \frac{-4+\sqrt{4^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:27}}{2}=\frac{-4+\sqrt{92}i}{2}$

Therefore, on solving we get,

$h=-2+\sqrt{23}i,\:h=-2-\sqrt{23}i$

Thus solutions of "h" are:

h = 8

$h=-2+\sqrt{23}i,\:h=-2-\sqrt{23}i$

"h" cannot be a imaginary value

Thus the solution is h = 8

Thus the height of container is 8 feet

In a certain clothing store,6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 ,and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41. determine the cost of each shirt.

Komok [63]

Answer:

Each shirt cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to interpret this question and turn each to an equation, letting shirts represent the letter s and ties represent the letter t.

6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 would be interpreted to 6s+3t=79.5 ,and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41 would be interpreted to 3s+2t=41

Hence we have two equations, and we solve them simultaneously.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We can either use the substitution method or the elimination method but for the sake of this question, we use the Elimination method.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We multiply equation 1 by 2 and we multiply equation 2 by 3, I'm prefer to eliminate the

2(6s+3t=79.5)

12s+6t=159 Equation 3

3(3s+2t=41)

9s+6t=123 Equation 4

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3.

12s+6t=159

9s+6t=123

12s-9s=3s

6t-6t=0

159-123=36

We therefore have

3s=36

Divide both sides by 3

s=36/3

s=12

One shirt cost $12
