The base would be 13.6 cm long, if you divide the area by the height you will get the base.
So the two numbers can be represented as x and y
so x is first and y is second
y=2(x)-8
so y=2x-8
IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)
Answer:
x=8, y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is said to be a rectangle, which means opposite sides have to be equal in length. From this, we can write a system of equations:
5x-2y=42
2x+3y=13
There are a number of ways to solve this but I'll go with elimination--that means you need to try to remove one variable first by manipulating the equations and solve for the other variable. Then you use the solution to solve for the variable you initially removed. That sounds confusing, but let me show you how to do it.
If you multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2, you'll have have:
15x-6y=126
4x+6y=26
Now, we can add these two equations. The y will cancel out, so we can easily solve for x.
19x=152
x=8
Use this value of x to substitute back into either of the original equations to find y.
5(8)-2y=42
40-2y=42
-2y=2
y=-1
Answer:
b.)x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
-3+4=1
-2+4=2
-1+4=3
0+4=4
Answer: $1.50 per rose
Step-by-step explanation: You add 38 and 45, because you want to find the total of the roses she sold. 38 + 45 = 83. Then you have to divide the total price by how many roses she sold. So, 124.50 / 83 = 1.5. So, it's $1.50 per rose.
