Answer:

A boat would need 21 liters to cover the distance of 84 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A boat can travel 496 km on 124 liters of fuel.

To determine

How much fuel will it need to go 84 km?

It is stated that:

Distance covered in 124 liters of fuel = 496 km

Thus,

Unit rate = 496 km / 124 liters

= 4 km per liter

Thus,

The distance covered in 1 liter = 4km

In order to determine the distance covered in 84 km, all we need is to divide 84 km by 4.

i.e.

The fuel needed to go 84 km = 84 / 4 = 21 liters

Therefore, a boat would need 21 liters to cover the distance of 84 km.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

18 ft and 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The new dimensions will be:

10 + x and 22 + x

The area is 540

Using area equation we get:

(10 + x)(22 + x) = 540
x² + 32x + 220 = 540
x² + 32x = 320
x² + 2x*16 + 256 = 320 + 256
(x + 16)² = 576
x + 16 = √576 (Ignoring the negative root as the length is never negative)
x + 16 = 24
x = 8

The new dimensions are:

10 + 8 = 18 ft and
22 + 8 = 30 ft

The length of a rectangular park is 3 feet shorter than times its width. If the length is 123 feet, what is the width of the par

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Width is 120ft but may be different if the "times the width" information is given. Follow the same process.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, write an expression that relates length and width using the information given to you. "The length of a rectangular park is 3 feet shorter than times its width" means that l = 3 + w. Since no number is given for "times its width" we disregard this portion. If you have the information then you would include it here l = 3 + _w.

So using the expression l = 3 + w, substitute l = 123. Then the width will be:

l = 3 + w

123 = 3 + w

120 = w

The inequality 7-2/3x < x-8

romanna [79]

Am going to presume you want it solved.
Please pardon my presumption

7 - (2/3)x < x - 8, Take all the x to one side of the inequality
-(2/3)x-x < - 8 -7
-(5/3)x < - 15 Divide both sides by -5/3 and inequality sign changes

x > (-15)/(-5/3)

x > 15 * 3/5 . 5 into 15 is 3.

x > 3*3

x > 9
