Answer:
16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle be x ft
Therefore, length = (x + 2) ft
Area of the rectangle = 15 square ft
Answer:
1/2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
since 1/3of the tank is already full and another 4 gallons fills it up
4 gallons= 2/3 of the tank or the tank is 6 gallons total
75% is equal to 3/4
6*3/4=4 1/2 gallons
since it is 1/3 or 4 gallons full
4 1/2 -4= 1/2
Answer:
1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
s² - 35 = -35
Add 35 to both sides: <em>s² = 0</em>
<em>s can only be 0, and 0 has no positives nor negatives</em>, so one number.
1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.
2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:
l = w + 6
3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:
24 = 2w + 2l
4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:
24 = 2w + 2l
if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)
24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )
24 = 4w + 12
12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)
w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)
w = 3 in.
5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :
l = w + 6
l = 3 + 6
l = 9 in.
6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
The distance between Car A and car B,When Car A crosses the start line is:
distance =speed car B* time
distance=(15 m/s)(3 s)=45 m
Distance traveled by car A =x, (when the car B is at the same distance from the start line)
time of car A=t
x=10 m/st ⇒ x=10t (1)
Distance traveled by car B=x
time of car B=t-3
x=15(t-3) (2)
With the equations (1) and (2) we make a system of equations:
x=10t
x=15(t-3)
We solve this system of equations:
10t=15(t-3)
10t=15t-45
-5t=-45
t=-45 / -5
t=9
t-3=9-3=6
x=10 t=10 (9)=90
Answer: The time would be 9 seconds for Car A and 6 seconds for car B and the distance would be 90 meters.
