Answer:

18 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 6) * x = 72

Use the distributive property

3x^2 + 6x = 72

3x^2 + 6x - 72 = 0

3(x^2 + 2x - 24) = 0

X^2 + 2x - 24 = 0

X can equal -6 and 4.

4 only works for this problem

4 * 3 = 12

12 + 6 = 18

So, the answer is 18 yd.

Let’s check our work.

3 * 4 = 12

12 + 6 = 18

18 * 4 = 72

So, we know for a fact that the longer side is 18 yd long.

I hope I helped!

Answer:

18 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length and width be L and W respectively.

Then L· W = area = 72 yd², so that L = (72 yd²) / W.

But also L = 3W + 6 yd.  Subbing this into  L· W = area = 72 yd², we get:

(3W + 6) · W = 72, or

3W² + 6W - 72 = 0.  Since all  four terms are evenly divisible by 3, we get:

W² + 2W - 24 = 0, which factors as follows:

(W + 6)(W - 4) = 0.  Then W + 6 = 0, or W = -6 (makes no sense for a length), and W - 4 = 0 yields W = 4 yds.

If the shorter side is of length 4 yds, then the longer side is of length

L = 3(4 yds) + 6 yds = 18 yds

Please help with these 3 pretty easy problems and explain how you got it!!! 100 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!!! Serious answers please
natita [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

(x-3)/18=12/9, cross multiply

9(x-3)=18(12)

9x-27=216, add 27 to each side

9x=243, divide each side by 9

x=27

2)

(x-16)/(x+6)=3/5, cross multiply

5(x-16)=3(x+6)

5x-80=3x+18, subtract 3x from each side

2x-80=18, add 80 to each side

2x=98, divide each side by 2

x=49

3)

Since the triangles are similar we can say that

25/(4x-1)=10/(x+5), cross multiply

25(x+5)=10(4x-1)

25x+125=40x-10, subtract 40x from each side

-15x+125=-10, subtract 125 from each side

-15x=-135, divide each side by -15

x=9

Come up with your own system to measure angles. What would you call your unit of measure and how would it work. Describe your sy
aleksley [76]

Answer:

You can try a picture memory method to help students

An example write down notes of what the triangle laws are for angles.

Then interpret them into your picture measurement theory.

Example could be the perpendicular measures of a right angle can be used

to find an area would be the M but as we are finding angles we could use the Big A instead of degrees sign.

We could provide pictures of cars to represent trigonometry

Where back wheels opposite angles and sides from slant are both the unit measure used in  Side/sin( A) x sin (B)   so this way you label the car wheel angle above of the square boot 'side on' and this angle is A

The B is the one above it linking the slant to find the other measure.

You are asked to design a theme around measuring angles so you need to look at other sin cos and tan calculus to design a picture that can create an image like i've given to find slant.

You need to one that finds angles.

However if you do find a car can help you can always call it square boot as in square root, considering 2/3 of sin cos and tan are square root measures.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached ideas and trigonometry

Picture memory Trigonometry

Picture 1. Sunrise Ah side looks for side measure.

The number above is the hypotenuse

A/H = cos ( ) x hyp =base A/H = cos ( ) x hyp = side

Picture 2.Sunrise Soh looks for side measure.

The number above it is the hypotenuse

O/H = sin ( ) =p (for product) take the p x hyp.

Picture 3 Sunrise Toast (Toa) looks for side measure = O/A

Tan ( lower angle ) x base = side

Picture 4 Side of car (Soh) with window as hypotenuse.

Two wheels are the 2 angles given and the back seat is perpendicular to both wheels =

so the triangle structure looks like this /00|7

so you type in 7/sin ( 1st wheel) x (2nd wheel) = hypotenuse.

Both angles given or worked out this is when this is used.

Picture 5 Electric mast looking for slope SIN =S/P = O/A

Angle at top

We have the side at 70 and looking for the slope

Sin( top angle) = p then side/p = hyp

Picture 6

Top angle and base given creates a T this means half both of them before dividing.

To find hypotenuse

Half = 1/2 base / sin (1/2) = hypotenuse

Picture 7

Top angle and base given creates a T this means half both of them before dividing.

To find height =

Half = 1/2 base /Tan 1/2) = Triangle height.

Key checker after pictures are drawn is;

sunrise = low angle x side or low angle x base = hypotenuse.

car = backseat x wheels = hypotenuse always remember when car on side the first

wheel first, second wheel 2nd first in the calculator. The wheels are the 2 angles that

make the car when flipped.

Half = 1/2 base / sin (1/2) = hypotenuse

Half = 1/2 base / tan (1/2) = height

Just take care with top angle and lower angle key words in the drawing descriptions and then the pictures will help.

Ethan and Emily went shopping at a local farmers’ market. They both bought the same type of apples and potatoes at the same stan
Effectus [21]
<h3>Ordered pair representing the price per pound of apples, x, and potatoes, y is (2.5, 1.1).</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the cost of per pound of apples  = $ x

Assume that the cost of per pound of potatoes  = $ y

Now, according to question:

The cost of  8 pounds of apples and 5 pounds of potatoes  = $25.50

⇒ Cost of 8 pounds of Apple +   Cost of 5 pounds of potatoes  =  $25.50

⇒ 8 x (Cost of 1 pound apple)  +  5 x ( cost of  1 pound potato )  = $25.50

⇒ 8 x + 5 y =  $25.50  .... (1)

⇒  5 y =  25.5 - 8 x

Similarly,

The cost of 3 pounds of apples and 10 pounds of potatoes = $18.50

⇒ 3 x + 10 y =  $18.50  .... (2)

or,   1.5 x +5 y =  $ 9.25   ( dividing the equation by 2)  

⇒ 5 y =  9.25  - 1.5 x

Now, comparing both equations,we get:

25.5 - 8 x = 9.25  - 1.5 x

⇒ 25.5 - 9.25 =  8 x - 1.5 x

⇒ 16.25 =  6.5 x

⇒ x = 2.5

Putting this value of x in   5 y =  9.25  - 1.5 x, we get:

5 y  = 9.25 - 1.5 (2.5)

⇒ 5 y =  5.5

⇒ y = 1.1

So, the cost of 1 pound of apples  = $2.5

The cost pf 1 pound of potatoes = $1.1

The ordered pair (x,y) is given as : (x,y)  = (2.5,1.1)
