Answer:

Length = 18 Width = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)

So let's label the unknown length as x. Width would then be (x-7). Then plug it into the perimeter equation.

2(x) + 2(x-7) = 58

Then use PEMDAS which will give us

2x+2x-14 = 58

Combine like terms

4x -14 = 58

Add 14 to both sides

4x = 72

To get x by itself you have to divide both sides by 4.

x = 18

So length is 18 and width is (18-7) which is 11.

Since you know x is between 4 and 5, lets start in the middle using 4.5 for x

4.5^3 - 5(4.5) =  68.625 ( this is larger than 59, so we know the number is less than 4.5)

lets try 4.2:   4.2^3 -5(4.2) = 53.088 ( this is smaller than 59, so we know the number is larger than 4.2)

4.3:  4.3^3 -5(4.3) = 58.007

4.4:  4.4^4 -5(4.4) = 63.184
 so we know the answer is between 4.3 and 4.4

4.32: 4.32^3 - 5(4.32) = 59.02 round to 59.0 ( to 1 decimal place)

 I think this is what the teacher wants for an answer.

It is given that yvaries directly as x. If y= 5 when x= 4 determine the constant of variation,
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

k=\dfrac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y varies directly as x. It means,

y = kx

Where

k is the constant of variation

or

k=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{5}{4}

So, the constant of variation is \dfrac{5}{4}.

Your friend factors the expression 48x-16. Is your friend correct? Explain your reasoning.
Harman [31]

Answer:

16(3x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

the greatest common factor of 48 and 16 is 16, hence

48x - 16 = 16(3x - 1)
