Answer:

29119.66666...+14561.3333...=43681, 209ft^2, not square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

"One side of a rectangle is 3 feet shorter than twice the other side find the sides if the area is 209 feet squared"

Ok, so this is a tricky one- 209 feet squared, not 209 square feet, therefore the area is 209^2, or 43,681.

Next, let's define our variables-

x= the "other side"

z= 3 feet shorter than twice side

We can now make these (useful) equations

z=2x-3

43681= (2x-3)+x

We will focus on the latter for now-

Simplify

43681= (2x-3)+x

43681= 2x-3+x

43681= 3x-3

43684=3x

14561.3333...=x

z=2x-3

z=2*(14561.3333)-3

z=29119.66666....

29119.66666...+14561.3333...=43681

A scale on a bike path shows that 3 inches represents 5 miles. How many inches on the map are equal to 30 miles

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio for inches to miles is

$\frac{3}{5}$ ,

then you multiply the top and bottom by 6 to get to 30. This gets the numerator to 18 inches.

Find the x is qs bisects pqr and pqr=82

slavikrds [6]

if ∡PQR = 82°, and the ray QS bisects it, it cuts ∡PQR into two equal halves, ∡PQS and ∡RQS, each of which is then 82/2, or 41°.

$\bf \stackrel{\measuredangle PQS}{10x+1}=41\implies 10x=40\implies x=\cfrac{40}{10}\implies x=4$

Solve 3m+7/2=−2m+5/2 what is m

GenaCL600 [577]

Solve for m:3 m + 7/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
Put each term in 3 m + 7/2 over the common denominator 2: 3 m + 7/2 = (6 m)/2 + 7/2:(6 m)/2 + 7/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
(6 m)/2 + 7/2 = (6 m + 7)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
Put each term in 5/2 - 2 m over the common denominator 2: 5/2 - 2 m = 5/2 - (4 m)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = 5/2 - (4 m)/2
5/2 - (4 m)/2 = (5 - 4 m)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = (5 - 4 m)/2
Multiply both sides by 2:6 m + 7 = 5 - 4 m
Add 4 m to both sides:6 m + 4 m + 7 = (4 m - 4 m) + 5
4 m - 4 m = 0:6 m + 4 m + 7 = 5
6 m + 4 m = 10 m:10 m + 7 = 5
Subtract 7 from both sides:10 m + (7 - 7) = 5 - 7
7 - 7 = 0:10 m = 5 - 7
5 - 7 = -2:10 m = -2
Divide both sides of 10 m = -2 by 10:(10 m)/10 = (-2)/10
10/10 = 1:m = (-2)/10
The gcd of -2 and 10 is 2, so (-2)/10 = (2 (-1))/(2×5) = 2/2×(-1)/5 = (-1)/5:Answer: m = (-1)/5

Determine the rate of change of f , f(x)= 6x-5

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the rate of change is given by the slope of the line

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

f(x) = 6x - 5 is in this form

with slope m = 6 ← rate of change
