0.5x - 2 < 5.5

Add 2 to both sides.

0.5x < 7.5

Now divide by 0.5 on both sides.

x < 15

If you multiply the top equation by -2 you get:

-4x -14y = 14 => -4x = 14+14y

now you can plug in the -4x into the second equation:

14+14y - 3y = -19 => 11y = -33 => y=-3

Fill in y=-3 in either equation to find x:

2x - 21 = -7 => 2x = 14 => x=7

So your ordered pair is (7,-3)

The length and width of a rectangle are measured as 55 cm and 49 cm, respectively, with an error in measurement of at most 0.1 c

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is $10.4 \:cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle with length $L$ and width $W$ is $A= L\cdot W$ so the differential of <em>A</em> is

$dA=\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} \Delta L+\frac{\partial A}{\partial W} \Delta W$

$\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} = W\\\frac{\partial A}{\partial W}=L$ so

$dA=W\Delta L+L \Delta W$

We know that each error is at most 0.1 cm, we have $|\Delta L|\leq 0.1$ , $|\Delta W|\leq 0.1$ . To find the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle we take $\Delta L = 0.1$ , $\Delta W = 0.1$ and $L=55$ , $W=49$ . This gives
