Answer:  width = 300

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Area (A) = Length (L) x width (w)

Given: A = 268,500

           L = 3w - 5

           w = w

268,500 = (3w - 5) x (w)

268,500 = 3w² - 5w

            0 = 3w² - 5w - 268,500

            0 = (3w + 895) (w - 300)

   0 = 3w + 895        0 = w - 300

  -985/3 = w             300 = w

Since width cannot be negative, disregard w = -985/3

So the only valid answer is: w = 300

The cost of a table is 5 times the chair what is the price of chair if the total is 1050​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

the cost of the chair is 175.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>if the chair is x, the table will be 5x</em>

now,

the equation formed will be,

5x+x = 1050

on solving,

6x= 1050

x= 1050÷6

x= 175

therefore, the cost of the chair will be x= 175.

and the cost of the table will be 5x= 5×175 = 875.

In a sample of 700 gas​ stations, the mean price for regular gasoline at the pump was $2.894 per gallon and the standard deviati
frez [133]

Answer:

P(x < 2.892) = 4.36\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

N = 700 --- Population

\mu = 2.894 -- Mean

\sigma = 0.009 --- Standard deviation

n = 55 -- Sample

Required: P(x < 2.892)

This question will be solved using the finite correction factor

First, calculated the z score

z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sqrt{\frac{N -n}{N -1}} * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}}

z = \frac{2.892 - 2.894}{\sqrt{\frac{700 -55}{700 -1}} * \frac{0.009}{\sqrt {55}}}

z = \frac{-0.002}{\sqrt{\frac{645}{699}} * \frac{0.009}{7.42}}

z = \frac{-0.002}{\sqrt{0.92} * \frac{0.009}{7.42}}

z = \frac{-0.002}{0.95917 * 0.0012129}

z = -1.71

So:

P(x < 2.892) = P(z < -1.71)

Using z table

P(x < 2.892) = 0.043633

P(x < 2.892) = 4.36\%

Nancy is making lemonade for her birthday party. She made 6 batches. Each batch of lemonade uses 24 fluid ounces of lemon juice
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Us pint = 16 Us fluid ounces

It means that 8 pints of water would be

8 × 16 = 128 fluid ounces

Each batch of lemonade uses 24 fluid ounces of lemon juice and 8 pints of water. The total number of fluid ounces in each batch is

128 + 24 = 152 fluid ounces

Also,

1 fluid ounce = 0.125 Us cups

Therefore, the number of cups made is

152 × 0.125 = 19 cups

If each serving is 1 cup, then the number of servings that she made from each batch of lemonade is 19

servings. The number of batches made is 6. Therefore, the number of servings made altogether is

6 × 19 = 114

If her brother came and spilled half of it on the floor, then the number of servings that she have left after that for her party is

114/2 = 57 servings

onyango wishes to fence a rectangular research plot using 100 m of wire .one end of the plot has a wall already erected .calcula
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1250 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y denote the sides of the rectangular research plot.

Thus, area is;

A = xy

Now, we are told that end of the plot already has an erected wall. This means we are left with 3 sides to work with.

Thus, if y is the erected wall, and we are using 100m wire for the remaining sides, it means;

2x + y = 100

Thus, y = 100 - 2x

Since A = xy

We have; A = x(100 - 2x)

A = 100x - 2x²

At maximum area, dA/dx = 0.thus;

dA/dx = 100 - 4x

-4x + 100 = 0

4x = 100

x = 100/4

x = 25

Let's confirm if it is maximum from d²A/dx²

d²A/dx² = -4. This is less than 0 and thus it's maximum.

Let's plug in 25 for x in the area equation;

A_max = 25(100 - 2(25))

A_max = 1250 m²

Create an equivalent system of these equations and test your solution <br> x + y = 1<br> x 3y =9
ad-work [718]
An equvilent equation
remember you can do anything to an equation as long asyou do it to both sides


assuming yo have
x+y=1 and
x-3y=9
mulitply both by 2
2x+2y=2
2x-6y=18
those are equvilent



ok, solve initial

x+y=1
x-3y=9
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation


-x-y=-1
<u>x-3y=9 +</u>
0x-4y=8

-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2

sub back
x+y=1
x-2=1
add 2
x=3


x=3
y=-2
(3,-2)

if we test it in other one

2x+2y=2
2(3)+2(-2)=2
6-4=2
2=2
yep

2x-6y=18
2(3)-6(-2)=18
6+12=18
18=18
yep


solution is (3,-2)
