Answer:

Defining variable: x = per week

Equation: 37 + 6.5x = 9 + 8.25x

Answer: 16 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

x = per week

Jack:

37 + 6.5x

Diane:

9 + 8.25x

Equation:

37 + 6.5x = 9 + 8.25x

-1.75x = -28

x = 16

Jenny can swim 10 laps In 5 minutes. How many laps should she swim in 1/3 of an hour?

1/3 of an hour is 20 minutes. If show 10 laps in 5 minutes, just divide 20 by 5, which gives you 4, then multiply 4 times 10. She can swim 40 laps in 1/3 of an hour. Hope that helps. Mark Brainliest if it does. Thank you!

Find the dimensions of a rectangle with perimeter 112 m whose area is as large as possible. step 1 if a rectangle has dimensions
Veronika [31]


Please use the solution below:
Let P = perimeter, A = area
As provided above, a = xy and 
We know that the formula to solve for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2x + 2y. Using the given 112m, we can solve the perimeter using the formula:
112 = 2x + 2y
56 = x + y

x = 56-y or y = 56-x
Let's solve the perimeter in terms of y using the formula below:
A = (56-y)(y)
Find the derivative of A = 56-y^2 to get the value of y.
dA/dy = 56-2y = 0
y = 56/2
y = 28
To find X, substitute the value of y in the equation x = 56 - y. 
x = 56 - 28
Therefore, x = 28.
We can conclude that the figure is not a rectangle but a square.
