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.

Answer:

Step 1: Set x to 0

$-2(0) + y = 3$

$y = 3$

(0, 3)

Step 2: Set x to 1

$-2(1) + y = 3$

$-2 + y + 2 = 3 + 2$

$y = 5$

(1, 5)

Step 3: Set x to 2

$-2(2) + y = 3$

$-4 + y + 4 = 3 + 4$

$y = 7$

(2, 7)

Step 4: Set x to 3

$-2(3) + y = 3$

$-6 + y + 6 = 3 + 6$

$y = 9$

(3, 9)

Suppose there are two types of persons: high-ability and low-ability. A particular diploma costs a high-ability person $10,000 a

Answer:

K must be in range $45000 ≤ k ≤ $53000 to make this an effective screening device.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the screening device to be effective, the range of k must be such that, it is more than the pay of a worker without diploma. The extra amount must at least be equal to the cost of diploma

So the value of k must be in range from (35000 + 10000) to (35000 + 18000)

Hence,

$45000 ≤ k ≤ $53000
