Answer:

2160 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual length of a soccer field is 300 feet. If the width of the field is 180 feet, then what should the width of the scale drawing be in inches?

1 foot = 12 inches

Width of the field = 180 feet

Hence:

1 foot = 12 inches

180 feet = x

x = 180 × 12 inches

x = 2160 inches

Width of the scale drawing in inches = 2160 inches

{ y = - 4x-23-4x-3y=13

sleet_krkn [62]

For this case we have the following system of equations:

$y = -4x-23\\-4x-3y = 13$

We solve by the substitution method:

We substitute the first equation in the second equation:

$-4x-3 (-4x-23) = 13$

We apply distributive property considering that $- * - = +:$

$-4x + 12x + 69 = 13\\8x + 69 = 13$

We subtract 69 from both sides of the equation:

$8x = 13-69\\8x = -56$

We divide by 8 on both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac {-56} {8}\\x = -7$

We look for the value of the variable y:

$y = -4 (-7) -23\\y = 28-23\\y = 5$

Thus, the solution of the system is $(x, y): (-7,5)$

Answer:

$(x, y): (-7,5)$

The volume of this triangular prism is 140 cubic millimeters. What is the value of d? Please need help!!

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

7 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is the area of the base times it's length.

140/10 is 14

so the area of the triangle is 14

the formula for area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2

so

d x 4/ 2 = 14

multiply both sides by 2

d x 4 = 28

divide both sides by 4

d=7

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span> $\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}$ .
From the above equation we get $x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20$ .
then $\frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
Solving the above equation for y we get: $y=160$
So $x=400$
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

You will write a 5-paragraph essay explaining how you would solve the following equation:

sattari [20]

Answer:

$x=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{3}(2x+3)+\frac{3}{4}(\frac{x}{5}-\frac{15}{2})=\frac{11}{8}$ <-- Given

$\frac{14}{3}x+7+\frac{3}{20}x-\frac{45}{8}=\frac{11}{8}$ <-- Distributive Property

$\frac{280}{60}x+7+\frac{9}{60}x-\frac{45}{8}=\frac{11}{8}$ <-- Find LCD of x-terms

$\frac{289}{60}x+7-\frac{45}{8}=\frac{11}{8}$ <-- Combine Like Terms

$\frac{289}{60}x+7=\frac{56}{8}$ <-- Add 45/8 to both sides

$\frac{289}{60}x+7}=7$ <-- Simplify Right Side

$\frac{289}{60}x=0$ <-- Subtract 7 on both sides

$x=0$ <-- Divide both sides by 289/60
