Let w won games, t tied games, s lose games

s=4w

t=w-5

s+t+w=43

4w+(w-5)+w=43

6w=48

w=7

s=4*7=21 games lost

5 the square root of 55 7 the square root of 32

puteri [66]

Answer:

the square root of 55, or 7.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem, or a²+b²=c², where a and b are the sides or "legs" of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

a is 3, b is x, and c is 9

If you plug that into the equation, you get 3²+x²=8²

We can make this 9+x=64 by squaring the 3 and 8.

Then we can subtract 9 from each side to get x=55.

Finally, take the square root of 55 to get √55 or 7.42.

I hope this helped!

Lilit [14]

Answer:

$Plant\ B\ produces\ 4000\ panels.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let plant B produces $x$ panels.

Defective Panels from Plant A and Plant B

Defective panels from plant A $=1\%\ of\ 8000$

Defective panels from plant A $=0.01\times 8000$

Defective panels from plant A $=80$

Defective panels from plant B $=4\%\ of\ x$

Defective panels from plant B $=0.04x$

Total Defective panels=Defective panels from plant A+Defective panels from plant B

Total Defective panels $=80+0.04x$

Total Panels and defective panels:

Total Panels=Panels from plant A+Panels from plant B

Total Panels=8000+x

Total Defective panels $=2\%\ of\ total\ panels=2\%\ of\ (8000+x)$

Total Defective Panels $0.02\times (8000+x)=160+0.02x$

$80+0.04x=160+0.02x\\\\0.04x-0.02x=160-80\\\\0.02x=80\\\\x=\frac{80}{0.02}\\\\x=4000$
