Answer:

  205 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is (6w-17) and the area is ...

  A = LW

  7585 = (6w-17)(w)

  6w² -17w -7585 = 0

Perhaps most straightforward is using the quadratic formula to solve this.

For ax² +bx +c = 0, the solution is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a). For the above quadratic, the solution is ...

  x=\dfrac{-(-17)\pm\sqrt{(-17)^2-4\cdot6\cdot(-7585)}}{2\cdot6}=\dfrac{17\pm\sqrt{182329}}{12}\\\\x=\dfrac{17\pm427}{12}=\{-34\frac{1}{6},37\}

The width is 37 feet, so the length is ...

  6(37) -17 = 205 . . . feet

The length of the rectangle is 205 feet.

Joe earns $14 an hour and Blaine earns $18 per hour. Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months, and Blaine receives a raise
Katarina [22]

After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour

Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour

Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"

<em><u>Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months</u></em>

Therefore,

Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months</u></em>

Therefore,

Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2

The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,

Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

14+1.75x = 18+0.75x\\\\1.75x-0.75x = 18-14\\\\1x = 4\\\\x = 4

Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.

What is the equation of the line in the graph?
Verizon [17]
Well, we can see that the y-intercept is (0, -4) which means that the line must be:

y=mx-4

And since only one answer has -4 as the y-intercept, y=x-4 is the answer :P

Zina [86]
The fraction indicating the number of students who are not wearing either blue or white shirt is:
1- 1/6- 2/3= 1/6.

36 students* (1/6)= 6 students.

There are 6 students who are not wearing either a blue or a white shirt.

Hope this helps~
