Answer:

The width of the floor is 10 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to form expressions of width and length in terms of w. With the given information :

width = w ft

length = (w - 2) ft

Given that the area of rectange is A = length × width so you have to subtitute the expressions and value into the formula :

A = l × w

80 = (w - 2) × w

w(w - 2) = 80

w² - 2w = 80

w² - 2w - 80 = 0

(w + 8)(w - 10) = 0

w + 8 = 0

w = -8 (rejected)

w - 10 = 0

w = 10

Decide whether or not each equation represents a proportional relationship. A.The remaining length (L) of 120-inch rope after x
bulgar [2K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: An equation represents proportional relationship when dividing the quantities of the equation results in a quotient that is always the same. For example, in general:

Equation: y = mx

\frac{y}{x} = m

m is a constant value, which means is the same.

A. Equation: 120 - x = L

Equation from alternative A is NOT proportional since the division of the quantities doesn't result in a constant.

B. Equation: 1.08p = t

Dividing total cost per item's price, will always give the sales tax, which is constant. So, this equation IS proportional.

\frac{t}{p}=1.08

C. Equation: x=\frac{m}{4}

This equation is proportional because dividing marbles per how much each sister gets, always gives the number of sisters:

\frac{m}{x}=4

D. Equation: V=12s^{2}

This equation is NOT proportional because side length is squared, so it is not constant linearly.

A psychologist collects data on the time, w, in minutes, people walk each day and their scores, t ,on a stress test. The scores
faust18 [17]

Answer: D: The model predicts that a person who does not walk each day will score about 48.1 on the test.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A psychologist collects data on the time, w, in minutes, people walk each day and their scores, t ,on a stress test.

She finds that there is a negative linear association between w and t that is best modeled by the equation t=-2.5w+48.1 .

When we put w=0 minutes, t=48.1

It implies that if any patient doesn't walk will score 48.1.

Hence, the model predicts that a person who does not walk each day will score about 48.1 on the test.
