Answer: H=12 and B=8

Looking at the problem, you are given the area, <em>a</em> , and told the h is 4 meters longer than <em>b; </em>in other words, <em>h</em>=<em>b</em>+4.

Since <em>a=</em>1/2<em>bh</em>, you can replace <em>a</em> with 48. Also, since <em>h</em> is <em>b</em>+4, you can replace that as well. You'd end up with this equation:

48=1/2b(b+4)

1. Seeing that 48 is 1/2 of <em>b,</em> you know that you have twice the value of 48, or 96. So, you can put that 96=<em>b(b+4). </em>

2.<em> </em>Now, thinking through factors of 96-  1 x 96, 2 x 48, 3 x 32, 4 x 24, 6 x 16, or 8 x 12, the only pair in which <em>h </em>is b+4 is 12 x 8.

Hope this helps,

Lacia :))

What is the solution of 15=-4+z/3
lana [24]
15=-4+z/3

+4 +15 = +4 -4 +z/3
cancels the 4 on the right side

19 = z/3

3 x 19 = z/3 x 3
cancels 3 on the right side

I think the answer is z = 57

Joanne's Dress Shop received an invoice dated July 25 for $1,400, with terms of 2/10, 1/15, n/60. On August 8, Joanne's Dress Sh
ss7ja [257]

The actual amount that should be credited is $757.58.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that,

2% Discount if paid in 10 days.

1% Discount if paid in 15 days, (but greater that 10 days)

Net due in 60 days.

That is,

\bold{1400\times0.98 = 1372} will close the acount on days 1-10

\bold{1400\times0.99 = 1386} will close the acount on days 11-15

And August 8 is Day 15 and falls under the 1% discount rule.

Therefore, we have to divide the partial payment by the complement of the discount rate.

\bold{\Rightarrow\frac{750}{0.99} = 757.58} from the balance, and \bold{1400.00 - 757.58 = 642.42} is due by day 60.

3x^3-2x^2-147x+98=(ax-c)(bx+d)(bx-d) where a,b,c and d positive integers. Work out the value of a,b,c and d
Alexxx [7]

Expand the right side:

(ax-c)(bx+d)(bx-d)=(ax-c)(b^2x^2-d^2)

=ab^2x^3-b^2cx^2-ad^2x+cd^2

Notice that 98 = 2 * 7 * 7, so we have c=2 and d=7.

Then

-ad^2=-147\implies a=\dfrac{147}{49}=3

and

ab^2=3\implies b^2=1\implies b=1
