What exactly do you have to solve?
or is it just graphing?
The best unit of measuring when weighing an elephant would be
b. tons
length = 4 yards and width = 3.5 yards
let width be w then length is 2w - 3
area = w(2w - 3) = 14 (rearrange in standard form )
2w² - 3w - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(2w - 7 )(w + 2 ) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for w
2w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 3.5
w + 2 = 0 ⇒ w = - 2
but w > 0, hence w = 3.5
width = 3.5 yards and length = (2 × 3.5 ) - 3 = 4 yards
Answer:
BC = 6.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from A to B, then from B to C, is the same distance as from A to C.
Thus,
AB + BC = AC
AB = 8x + 8
BC = 4x + 2
AC = 22
AB + BC = AC
(8x + 8) + (4x + 2) = 22
Expanding the parenthesis:
8x + 8 + 4x + 2 = 22
8x + 4x + 8 + 2 = 22
12x + 12 = 22
Subtracting 12 from both sides:
12x = 10
Dividing both sides by 12:
x = 10/12 = 1.2
x = 1.2
We're looking for BC. As we know,
BC = 4x + 2
Let's now put in x = 1.2 into this equation:
BC = 4x + 2
BC = 4 * 1.2 + 2
Since 4 * 1.2 is 4.8:
BC = 4.8 + 2
BC = 6.8
Answer: BC = 6.8
