Let's say each row has x desks and there are y rows.
We then know that x*y =25
We also know that x*2-5=y (number number of rows is five less than twice the number of desks in each row)
So we substitute: x*(x*2-5)=25
putting numbers out of the brackets:
2x*x-5x=25
2x*x-5x-25=0
(2x+5)(x-5)=0 (this bracketing is true: you can check it by expanding it:
2x*x-10x+5x-25
So that means that either x=-2.5which can't be : there can't be a fractional number of benches,
or x=5
so each row has 5 desks and there are 2*5-5 rows, or 5 rows.
Answer:
7 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple solving method:
15 - 8 = 7
The correct cross section is a rectangle
Answer:
y = 1/3 x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We see points (-3, 1) and (3, 3).
We also see point (0, 2), the y-intercept.
To go from (-3, 1) to (3, 3), go up 2 and right 6.
slope = m = rise/run = 2/6 = 1/3
y = mx + b
y = 1/3 x + 2
product means multiplication either
86n
or
86*n which are the same thing
