You are building a new wooden deck on your house. The old deck had a length of (2x + 1) feet and a width of (3x – 3) feet. You w

ant to make it bigger, so you are going to add x feet to the width. The area of the new deck will be 493 square feet. What is the length and width of the new deck?

Answer:

Length= 17 feet

Width= 29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Original</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width= (3x -3) ft

<u>New deck</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width

= (3x -3 +x) ft

= (4x -3) ft

Area of deck= length ×width

493= (2x +1)(4x -3)

<em>Expand</em><em>:</em>

493= 2x(4x) +2x(-3) +1(4x) +1(-3)

493= 8x² -6x +4x -3

493= 8x² -2x -3

8x² -2x -3 -493= 0

8x² -2x -496= 0

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>throughout</em><em>:</em>

4x² -x -248= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(x -8)(4x +31)= 0

x -8=0 or 4x +31= 0

x= 8 or 4x= -31 (reject)

Length of new deck

= 2(8) +1

= 16 +1

= 17 ft

Width of new deck

= 4(8) -3

= 32 -3

= 29 ft

The perimeter of a square room is 52 meters. What is the cost of tiling it at $5 per square meter?
Ludmilka [50]
First we have to find the area. To do that, we first have to find the side lengths of the square. Since a square has all four sides same length, we can find this by dividing: 52/4 = 13

Now we'll find the area in square meters: 13 * 13 = 169
So the area is 169 square meters.
So to find out how much that will cost, we will multiply the number of square meters by the amount it cost per square meter: 169 * $5 = $845

So it will cost $845

Convert the equation (y + 2) = –1/3(x – 4) to the point-slope form. Then fill in the blanks below to describe how to graph the e
alisha [4.7K]
The point-slope form of the equation of the line is:

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

So, (y + 2) = - 1/3 (x - 4) in the point-slope form is:

 [y - (-2) ] = (-1/3) [ x - 4 ]

You must, then realize that the line passes through the point (4,-2) and its slope is - 1 /3.

That slope, -1 / 3, means that the function is decresing (because the slope is negative),  and it decreases one unit when x increases 3 units.

Now you can fill in the blanks in this way:

Plot the point  (4, -2), move 1 unit down, and 3 units over to find the next point on the line.

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (15,-25) and (-12,11). Write your answer in the form of y=mx+b
schepotkina [342]
(15,-25)(-12,11)
slope = (11 - (-25) / (-12 - 15) = - 36 / 27 which reduces to - 4/3

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -4/3
use either of ur points (15,-25)...x = 15 and y = -25
now we sub and find b, the y int
-25 = -4/3(15) + b
-25 = - 20 + b
-25 + 20 = b
-5 = b

so ur equation is : y = -4/3x - 5 <==
