Answer:

The perimiter is 54 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the value of x.

To do this we need to multiply the two equations of the line becaise (length x width = area)

(3x + 2) x (2x)

(2x * 3x) + (2 * 2x)

6x² + 4x = 170

6x² + 4x - 170 = 0

We can then factorise this and solve because it is a quadratic:

2(3x² + 2x - 85)

2 (3x       )(x       )

You need to find the numbers that multiply to -85:

1,  -85

-1, 85,

-5, 17

-17, 5

We can eliminate the 1, 85, -1 and -85 factors and none of them are divisible by three, so we are then left with two:

-5, 17 and -17, 5

We can also eliminate -5 and 17 factors because when either are multiplied by three, the difference is not 2.

This means that the factors are:

2(x - 5)(3x + 17)

X = 5 or X = -17/3

x has to be 5 because we cannot have negatives in measurements

Now we know that 1x = 5, we can simply put this value into the equation for each side and multiply them both by two because in a rectangle, the two oposite sides are the same:

Side 1 = 3(5) + 2 = 17 x 2 = 34

Side 2 = 2(5 )= 10 x 2 = 20

<h3>So the perimiter is 34 + 20 = 54</h3>

What is the value of the y-intercept of the graph of h(x) = 1.2(4.15)^x?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

  h(0) = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is h(0). When x=0, the exponential term evaluates to 1, so the y-intercept is the multiplier of the exponential term.

  h(0) = 1.2 . . . the y-intercept

Anton [14]

One laptop costs 32,750.

He bought 5 laptops.

So, 5 x 32,750 = 163,750.

Let d = cost of one desktop.

163,750 + d = 229,600.

Solve for d to find your answer.

chad buys peanut in 2-pound bags.He repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pound of peanuts.How many 2-pound bags of peanuts sh
Nataliya [291]
First, let's find out how many 5/6 pound bags he can fill with on 2 pound bag.

2 divided by 5/6
2 x 6/5
2.4

He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 bag.
Now we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number. You can use the guess and check method starting with 2 to figure your answer out, but 2.4 x 5 = 12 which is a whole number.

This means that Chad needs to buy 5 of the 2 pound bags to fill 12 of the 5/6 pound bags, and he will not have peanuts leftover
