Answer:
l think 7.71 is right answer
Answer:
Equation: y =
x
21/2 cups of water
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 7 as y and 4 as x
7 = 4k
Find k
k = 7/4
Then plug k into th equation
y = 7/4 x
For the second part of the question:
Plug in x which is 6 into the bolded equation.
y = (7/4)(6) = 42/4 = 21/2 (simplified form)
21/2 cups of water
Answer:
x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
-8-3x=-8(1-7x)
add 8 to both sides =( -3x=56x)
subtract 56x from both sides (-59x=0)
divide both sides by -59 = (x=0)

This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.
Formula
Area = L * W
Givens
W = W
L = W + 12
Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0
This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.
a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120
w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done
L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995
check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error
Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet
Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.
