Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+7x-8=34+9x-2

we move the x's to the left and the numbers to the right

4x-9x=32+8

-5x=40

x=-40/5

x=-8

The length of a rectangular flower bed is 2ft longer than the width. If the area is 6ft, then what are the exact length and widt

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Exact dimensions:

$width=-1+\sqrt{7}$

$length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2$

$length=1+\sqrt{7}$

Approximate dimensions:

$width=1.64575ft$

$length=1.64575+2$

$length=3.64575ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume width of rectangle is w ft

The length of a rectangular flower bed is 2ft longer than the width

so,

length =w+2

$L=w+2$

now, we can find area

$A=L\times W$

now, we can plug it

$A=(w+2)\times w$

$A=w^2+2w$

we are given area =6

so, we can set it equal

and then we can solve for w

$w^2+2w=6$

$w^2+2w-6=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

now, we can compare and find a,b and c

a=1 , b=2 , c=-6

$w=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-6\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$w=-1+\sqrt{7},\:w=-1-\sqrt{7}$

we know that dimension can never be negative

so, we will only consider positive value

Exact dimensions:

$width=-1+\sqrt{7}$

$length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2$

$length=1+\sqrt{7}$

Approximate dimensions:

$width=1.64575ft$

$length=1.64575+2$

$length=3.64575ft$

In one day, a book store earned $199 in sales for 4 copies of a new cookbook and 5 copies of a new science fiction novel. On the

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The cookbook costs $36 per copy while the science fiction costs $11 per copy

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the price of the cookbook and the price of the science fiction novel.

Since we do not know the price of each, we start by assigning variables to stand in for these unknown prices.

Let the price of the cookbook be $x , while the price of the science fiction be $y

Now, on the first day, 4 copies of the cookbook and 5 copies of the fiction;

mathematically that would be 4 * x and 5 * y

We add both and sum to be $199

Thus we have;

4x + 5y = 199 ••••••••••(i)

On the second day;

3 copies of cookbook 3 * x = 3x with 4 copies of science fiction 4 * y

Adding both yielded 152;

Thus, we have ;

3x + 4y = 152••••••••••(ii)

So we need to solve both equations simultaneously to get the values of x and y

4x + 5y = 199

3x + 4y = 152

Multiply equation i by 3 and equation ii by 4

3 * 4x + 5y = 199

4 * 3x + 4y = 152

12x + 15y = 597

12x + 16y = 608

Now, subtract multiplied equation ii from multiplied equation i

(12x-12x) + (15y-16y) = (597-608)

-y = -11

y = 11

To get x, simply substitute in any of the equations;

let’s use equation 1

4x + 5y = 199

4x + 5(11) = 199

4x + 55 = 199

4x = 199-55

4x = 144

x = 144/4

x = 36
