Answer:

x = 38

y = 41

z = 123

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = =202

y = x + 3

z = 3y = 3(x + 3) = 3x + 9

<u>x</u> + <u>y</u> + <u>z</u> = <u>x</u> + <u>x + 3</u> + <u>3x + 9</u> = 5x + 12 = 202

5x + 12 = 202

5x = 190

x = 38

y = x + 3 = 41

z = 3y = 123

Write a system of equations for the following situation:

wariber [46]

Answer: B) a + c = 10

8a + 5c = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 10 total people went, so the first equation has to be equal to 10. The total was $59, so the second equation should be set equal to $59. Now that the second equation is for cost, we must make it 8a + 5c to represent the cost of the adult and child tickets which are $8 and $5, respectively.

A rectangle has width that is 6 meters less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 280 square meters. Find the dimensions

salantis [7]

Dimensions are length 20 meter and width 14 meter

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the length of rectangle

Let "b" be the width of rectangle

Given that,

<em><u>A rectangle has width that is 6 meters less than the length</u></em>

Width = length - 6

b = a - 6

The area of the rectangle is 280 square meters

<em><u>The area of the rectangle is given by formula:</u></em>

$Area = length \times width$

<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>

$Area = a \times (a-6)\\\\280 = a^2-6a\\\\a^2-6a -280=0$

<em><u>Solve the above equation by quadratic formula</u></em>

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=-6,\:c=-280:\quad a_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-6\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$a =\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36+1120}}{2}\\\\a = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{1156}}{2}\\\\a = \frac{6 \pm 34}{2}\\\\Thus\ we\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\a = \frac{6+34}{2} \text{ or } a = \frac{6-34}{2}\\\\a = 20 \text{ or } a = -14$

Since, length cannot be negative, ignore a = -14

<em><u>Thus solution of length is a = 20</u></em>

Therefore,

width = length - 6

width = 20 - 6 = 14

Thus dimensions are length 20 meter and width 14 meter

Answer:

The area is 56.7 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for corner shelf

Required

The area

The corner shelf is a quadrant with radius;

$r = 8.5in$

The area of a quadrant is:

$Area = \frac{\pi r^2}{4}$

So, the area of the corner shelf is:

$Area = \frac{\pi * 8.5^2}{4}$

$Area = \frac{\pi * 72.25}{4}$

$Area = \pi * 18.0625$

Take $\pi$ as 3.14

$Area = 3.14 * 18.0625$

$Area = 56.7$ -- approximated
