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.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

X = 76*4

= 304 cups of food

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Monkey eat 4 cups of food / day
  • Elephants eat 76 times as much as Monkey does / day

So Let X is the number of cups of food that elephants eat per day, we have the equation:

X = 76*4

= 304 cups of food

Hope it will find you well.

elixir [45]

Answer:

  C. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the angle sum is ...

  ∠FGT +∠TGH = ∠FGH

You can use this relation with the given values to find x.

 90 + (8x +4) = 39x +1

  93 = 31x . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -1-8x, collect terms

Maria and Nate graphed lines on a coordinate plane. Maria's line is represented by the equation y = -5/6x +8. Nate's line is per
eduard

Answer:

c)   6x - 5y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation:  y=mx+b

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

Maria's line:  y=-\dfrac{5}{6}x+8

Therefore, the slope of Maria's line is -\frac{5}{6}

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, the product of their slopes will be -1.

Therefore, the slope of Nate's line (m) is:

\begin{aligned}\implies m \times -\dfrac{5}{6} &=-1\\m & =\dfrac{6}{5}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the linear equation of Nate's line is:

y=\dfrac{6}{5}x+b\quad\textsf{(where b is some constant)}

Rearranging this to standard form:

\implies y=\dfrac{6}{5}x+b

\implies 5y=6x+5b

\implies 6x-5y=-5b

Therefore, <u>option c</u> could be an equation for Nate's line.
