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 median number of telephone line in thousands is 0

The number of telephone lines in each country = 250000

From the given dot plot

The data set will be

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 250, 250, 250, 250, 250, 500, 750, 750, 1000, 1000, 1250, 1750

The median of the data set is the middle term of the ordered data set. The order of the data set maybe ascending or descending order

There are 28 terms in the data set the middle terms will be 14th and 15th

Both 4th and 15 terms are 0

Therefore, the median is 0

The physics department of a college has 8 male professors, 11 female professors, 16 male teaching assistants, and 6 female teach
Lera25 [3.4K]
To determine the probability that one or the other circumstances will occur, you will count the number of possible outcomes and divide it by all the possible outcomes.

#of female teaching assistants + # of male teaching assistants + # of female professors

6 + 16 + 11 = 33

Total = 41

33/41 = 80

There is a approximate 80% probability that one or the other will occur.

What are two solutions of 3 + 4 |x/2 + 3| = 11?
Alex
3 + 4abs(x/2 + 3) = 11 Subtract 3
4 abs(x/2 + 3) = 11 - 3
4 abs(x/2 + 3) = 8 Divide by 4
abs(x/2 + 3) = 8/4
abs(x/2 + 3) = 2

Solution 1
x/2 + 3 = 2 Subtract 3
x/2 = 2 - 3
x/2 = - 1 Multiply by 2
x/2 *2 = - 2
x = - 2

Solution 2
x/2 + 3 = - 2
x/2 = - 2 - 3
x/2 = - 5 Multiply by 2
x = -5 * 2
x = -10

Solutions
x = - 2 <<<< answer 1
x = -10 <<<< answer 2
