Answer:

just keep in mind am not sure if the answer 6:15:20

Step-by-step explanation:

now we have ab= 2 : 5

and bc= 3 : 4

so b is the common one between them so multiply both of the b together which will give u 15 so now we have b = 15

to get a multiply 2 by 3 to get 6 so a = 6

to get c multiply 4 by 5 to get 20 so c = 20

now I hope that its correct and that u understood

Which ordered pair is the best estimate of the solution of the system 3x+y=4 x-3y=4?

vovangra [49]

$3x+y=4\ \ \ \ \ \ ..............equation(1)\\x-3y=4\ \ \ \ \ \ ..............equation(2)\\\\ Using~equation~(2), \\\\
x-3y=4\\x=4+3y\\\\Now,\ using\ the\ value\ of\ x\ in\ equation\ (1),\ we\ get,\\\\(4+3y)-3y=4\\\\4=4$

Since all the variables cancel out and the coefficient equal to eachother, this system of equation has infinitely many solutions!

We are interested in the dimensions of a certain rectangle. this rectangle has length twice the side of the square and width thr

Mila [183]

Area of square = s^2
Area of Rectangle = lw
l = 2s

w+3 = s
solve for w, w=s-3
Now we have l and w.
Plug both into area of rectangle formula so: (2s)(s-3)
Since both areas are equal set both equations equal to each other:
(2s)(s-3)=s^2
Now simplify
2s^2-6s=s^2
s^2-6s=0, Solve for s.
Factor polynomial. s(s-6)=0 , s can be equal to 0 or 6. HOWEVER, you cannot have a side length of 0 therefore the side length has to be 6.
Now plug in s for the length formula for the rectangle:
l = 2s so... l = 2(6) so length of rectangle = 12.
Now plug in s for the width formula for the rectangle:
w+3=s so... w+3=6 so width of rectangle = 3.
Now the dimensions of the rectangle are 12 by 3. 12 being length and 3 width.
To CHECK:
Find area of rectangle:
A=lw so A=3 times 12 so A=36
Find area of square:
We know the side is equal to 6 so
A=s^2 so 6^2 = 36
The areas are equal that verifies the answer of 12 by 3.
