Answer:

Here's what we know:

A = Lw (Area is length times width)

L = 2w + 6 (length is twice the width plus 6)

A = 140 (Area is 140 m2)

Plug in the variable values:

140 = w(2w + 6)

Distribute:

140 = 2w2 + 6w

Subtract 140:

2w2 + 6w - 140 = 0

Factor out a 2:

2(w2 + 3w - 70) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

w2 + 3w - 70 = 0

(w + m)(w - n)

When we factor out the quadratic, we know it's going to be a +/- situation because the c value in the quadratic is negative, and the two numbers are going to be three away, the plus next to the 3 meaning that the larger number is going to be positive:

(w + 10)(w - 7) = 0

w = -10, 7

We can't have a negative length, so we can toss out the -10, leaving us with w = 7 meters.

L = 2 * 7 + 6

L = 14 + 6

L = 20

Check:

140 = 20 * 7

140 = 140

Equation 1 is 2W - 6 = L
equation 2 is 140= W * L

L=10
W=8

Need help with point slope form
Alisiya [41]
Hi there!

To find your answer, simply sub in the point and the slope into y-y1=m(x-x1) for y1, x1 and m!

m=-8
point: (1,-8) use this point for x1 and y1
y+8=-8(x-1)

Therefore your equation is y+8=-8(x-1)

Hope this helps!

Find the least number which when divisible by 20, 24, 32 and 38 leaves a remainder 5 in cach case
Olegator [25]

Answer:

18245

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use L.C.M,

L.C.M(20,24,32,38)

2|20,24,32,38

2| 10 ,12 ,16 ,19

2| 5 , 6 , 8 , 19

2| 5 , 3 , 4 , 19

2| 5 , 3 , 2 , 19

L.C.M = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 3 x 19

          = 18240

Now for each case remainder is 5,

So the number is 18240+5

=> 18245

Please help with this question
alekssr [168]

Step-by-step explanation:

so, that means we want to find the time t (days) after which N = No/2

because "half-life" means the amount of time until half of the substance has disappeared (or transformed into something else).

so, we have

No/2 = No × e^(-0.1481×t)

No = 2× No × e^(-0.1481×t)

1 = 2×e^(‐0.1481×t)

1/2 = 0.5 = e^(-0.1481×t)

ln(0.5) = -0.1481×t

t = ln(0.5)/-0.1481 = 4.680264555... ≈ 4.7 days
