Answer:

The dimensions of the iphone are 2 inches by 7 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of an iPhone are x – 2 and x + 3.

The area of an iphone is 14 sq inches

We need to find the dimensions of the iPhone. It is in the shape of a rectangle. Its area is given by :

$A=l\times b\\\\(x-2)(x+3)=14\\\\x^2-2x+3x-6=14\\\\x^2+x-6-14=0\\\\x^2+x-20=0\\\\x^2+5x-4x-20=0\\\\x(x+5)-4(x+5)=0\\\\(x-4)(x+5)=0\\\\x=4\ and\ x=-5$

Neglecting negative value

First dimension = (x-2) = (4-2) = 2 inches

Other dimension = (x+3) = (4+3) = 7 inches

Hence, the dimensions of the iphone are 2 inches by 7 inches.

When you reverse the digits in a certain two-digit number you decrease its value by 18. what is the number if the sum of its dig

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: The number is 75

Lets start by defining the 2-digit number.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Define the number
--------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the digit in the tens place and y be the digit in the ones place.
The number is 10x + y
The reverse of the number is 10y + x

Now we will construct the equations needed

--------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equations
--------------------------------------------------------------
When the digits are reversed, the value decreases by 18:
(10x + y) - (10y + x) = 18 .   ← Apply distributive property
10x + y - 10y - x = 18   ←Combine like terms
9x - 9y = 18 ←Divide by 9 through
x - y = 2

The sum of the digits is 12:
x + y = 12

Now that we have the two equations, we can solve for x and y.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Solve for x and y
--------------------------------------------------------------
x - y = 2    ---------------------- (equation 1)
x + y = 12     ---------------------- (equation 2)

--------------------------------------------------------------
Make x the subject in equation 1
--------------------------------------------------------------
x - y = 2 ← Add y from both sides
  + y +y

x = 2 + y

--------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 2 + y into equation 2
--------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 12   ← Substitute x = 2 + y
2 + y + y = 12 ← combine like terms
2 + 2y = 12    ← Subtract 2 from both sides
-2    -2
2y = 10       ← Divide by 2 on both sides
÷2 ÷2
y = 5

--------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 5 into equation 1
--------------------------------------------------------------
x - y = 2   ← substitute y = 5
x - 5 = 2   ← add 5 on both sides
+5 +5
x = 7

Now we know the value of x and y. Lets find the 2-digit number.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2-digit number
--------------------------------------------------------------
The number = 10x + y = 10(7) + 5 = 75

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The number is 75

Simply take the derivative of s(t),
s'(t) = -6

Since the velocity is constant, v(t) = s'(t) = -6 at any given time t.
