Answer:
Length of rectangle = 16 cm
Width of rectangle = 4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Area of rectangle = 64 cm²
Find:
Length and width
Computation:
Assume;
Length of rectangle = a
So,
Width of rectangle = a -12
Area of rectangle = l x b
So,
a(a-12) = 64
a² - 12a - 64 = 0
a² - (16-4)a - 64 = 0
a² - 16a+ 4a - 64 = 0
a (a-16) + 4(a-16)= 0
(a-16)(a+4) = 0
a= 16 , a = -4
So,
Length of rectangle = 16 cm
Width of rectangle = a -12
Width of rectangle = 16 -12
Width of rectangle = 4 cm
The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.
Answer:
B. 15 
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
7 x = -35
Step-by-step explanation:
Which equation results from adding the equations in this system? 11 x minus 3 y = -17. Negative 4 x + 3 y = - 18.
- 7 x = negative 35
- 7 x = 35
7 x = negative 35
7 x = 35
In this problem we need to add the equations below i.e.
11x-3y = -17 and -4x+3y=-18
Adding both equations,
11x-3y+(-4x)+3y = -17+(-18)
7x= -35
or
7 x = negative 35
Hence, the correct option is (c).
