Answer:

x = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can deduce the following points;

- 12 less than x which simply means 12 subtracted from x.

- the value of the above expression is equal to 51.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

x - 12 = 51

Rearranging the equation (collecting like terms), we have;

x = 51 + 12

x = 63

Aaron tracks the time it takes him to mow lawns by writing coordinate points relating x, the time in hours it takes to mow a law

NARA [144]

Answer:

Slope of this line is given by:

Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that time is tracked by Aaron related to x coordinate.

and the area of land mowed in acres is related to y coordinate.

Two of his points are given as:

(3, 1.5) and (5,2.5)

We know that the coordinates are represented in the form of (x,y)

i.e. first coordinate represents x coordinate and

second coordinate represents y coordinate.

So, it can be observed that:

$x_1=3, y_1=1.5\\x_2=5, y_2=2.5$

Change in x coordinate = $x_2-x_1=5-3 = 2$

i.e. total time taken is 2 hours.

Change in y coordinate = $y_2-y_1=2.5-1.5 = 1$

i.e. total land mowed taken is 1 acre.

In other words, it takes 2 hours for Aaron to mow 1 acre of land.

So, "option 1) It takes Aaron about 1 hour to mow 2 acres." is incorrect.

Rate of mowing lawn is the land mowed by Aaron in 1 hour.

Land mowed in 2 hours = 1 acre

Land mowed in 1 hours = $\frac{1}{2}$ acre i.e. 0.5 acre

Also, slope of a line is given as:

$m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here $y_2 - y_1 = 1$

$x_2 - x_1 = 2$

As per formula:

$m = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5$

So, option 2) Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour.

which of the statements about the following quadratic equation is true? 6x2 - 8 = 4x2 7x the discriminant is greater than zero,

d1i1m1o1n [39]

6x^2 - 8 = 4x^2 + 7x
6x^2 - 4x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0
2x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; where a = 2, b = -7 and c = -8
d = (-7)^2 - 4(2)(-8)
d = 49 + 64
d = 113

the discriminant is greater than zero, so there are two real roots
