L= length= 1 1/2 yards
A= area= 3 1/2 yards^2
w= width
Area= length * width
plug in numbers you know
3 1/2= (1 1/2)(w)
convert to improper fractions
(3*2+1)/2= ((1*2+1)/2)(w)
7/2= 3/2w
divide both sides by 3/2
7/2 ÷ 3/2= w
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 3/2
7/2 * 2/3= w
(7*2)/(2*3)= w
14/6= w
reduce by 2
7/3= width as improper fraction
OR
2 1/3= width as mixed fraction
ANSWER: The width should be 2 1/3 yards wide (or 7/3 yards wide).
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the x coordinate is the same, we only have to look at the y coordinate
3 - -3 = 3 +3 = 6
The distance is 6
Answer:
a) Infinite solutions
b) No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
First, know the following:
If the graphs intersect, there's only one solution.
If the graphs are parallel, there are no solutions.
If the graphs are the exact same line, there are infinite solutions.
For a):
Change the first equation into a linear one.
Change the second equation into a linear one.
- 4x+6y=12
- 6y=-4x+12
Boom. You have two equations which are equal. As stated above, graphs on the exact same line have infinite solutions.
For b)
They are already in linear form so hurray.
These lines are parallel since they have the SAME slope but a different y-intercept. As stated above, parallel lines have no solutions.
Answer:
We have:
x < 4 AND x > a.
if a = 4 and we use an "or" instead of the "and" we have:
x < 4 or x > 4.
This is:
"x is larger than 4 or smaller than 4."
Then the solution of this is all the real numbers except the value x = 4.
The set of solutions can be written as:
{xI x ∈ R \ [4]}
Where this reads:
"x belongs to the set of the reals minus the number 4".
Or we also could write it as:
x ∈ (-∞, 4) ∪ (4, ∞)
Where we have two open ends in the "4" side, so the value x = 4 does not belong to that set.
A. Let x = cheese and
y = chocolate
2x + y = 25
x + y = 20
B. Subtract the second equation from the first.
2x + y = 25
-(x + y = 20)
-—————
x = 5
Plug 5 back in to the second equation and solve for y.
x + y = 20
5 + y = 20
Subtract 5 from both sides.
y = 15
5 cheese and 15 chocolate
Used elimination method because coefficients on the y values were both 1 so it was easy to subtract the equations and eliminate the y variable.
