Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of singing act be x

Let the number of comedy act be y

If the total act is 14, then;

x+y = 14..... 1

If singing acts are 4.5 minutes long and comedy acts are 3.5 minutes long and the acts lasts 59 minutes, then:

4.5x + 3.5y = 59 .......... 2

Solve both equation simultaneously for x and y

x+y = 14

45x+35y = 590

.................................

x+y = 14......... *9

9x+7y = 118....... 1

...............................

9x+9y = 126

9x+7y = 118

Subtract both equations

9y-7y = 126-118

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into equation 1;

From 1: x+y = 14

x+4 = 14

x = 14-4

x =10

Hence there are 10 singing acts and 4 comedy acts in the show

Una piscina rectangular de 15 metros de largo por 9 metros de ancho està rodeada por un
stira [4]

Answer: 2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width of the cement path.

Dimensions of pool : Length = 15 meters , width = 9 meters

Area of pool = length x width = 15 x 9 = 135 square meters

Along width cement path, the length of region = 2w+15

width = 2w+9

Area of road with pool =  (2w+15) (2w+9)

= 4w^2+30w+18w+135\\\\=4w^2+48w+135

Area of road = (Area of road with pool ) -(area of pool)

\Rightarrow\ 112 =4w^2+48w+135- 135\\\\\Rightarrow\ 112= 4w^2+48w\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4 w^2+48w-112=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+12w-28=0\ \ \ [\text{Divide both sides by 4}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+14w-2w-28=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w(w+14)-2(w+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (w+14)(w-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\  w=-14\ or \ w=2

width cannot be negative, so w=2 meters

Hence, the width of the road = 2 meters.

help pleaseeeeee!!!!!!!!!! How many unit cubes would it take to completely fill the prism with no gaps between unit cubes?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see the top - view is a rectangle of 2 by 9 dimensions. Respectively the right - side view is a rectangle of 2 by 4 dimensions. The common dimension among both rectangles would be 2, making this rectangular prism have dimensions 2 by 4 by 9.

Therefore the rectangular prism will have a volume of 2 * 4 * 9

2 * 4 * 9 = 8( 9 ) = 72 cubic units

Solution : 72 unit cubes
