Answer:

The dimensions of the room is 8 feet × 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the house, A = 96 ft²

The link is 12 feet less than three times the width of the room .

Let the width of the room is x.

Length = 3x-12 ...(1)

The area of a rectangular room is given by :

A = lb

96 = (3x-12)x

3x^2-12x-96=0\\\\x^2-4x-32=0\\\\x^2-8x+4x-32=0\\\\x(x-8)+4(x-8)\\\\(x+4)(x-8)=0\\\\x=-4,8

Neglecting negative value, width = 8 feet

Put x = 8 in equation (1)

Length = 3(8) - 12

= 12 feet

Hence, the dimensions of the room is 8 feet × 12 feet.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 15
nevsk [136]

Answer: For the sum of 130

First: $90

Second: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

We write equations for each part of this situation.

<u>The Total Charge</u>

Together they charged 1550. This means 1550 is made up of the first mechanics rate for 15 hours and the second's rate for 5 hours. Lets call the first's rate a, so he charges 15a. The second's let's call b. He charges 5b. We add them together 15a+5b=1550.

<u>The Sum of the Rates</u>

Since the first's rate is a and the second is b, we can write a+b=130 since their sum is 130.

We solve for a and b by substituting one equation into another. Solve for the variable. Then substitute the value into the equation to find the other variable.

For a+b=130, rearrange to b=130-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.

15a + 5 (130-a)=1550

15a+650-5a=1550

10a+650-650=1550-650

10a=900

a=$90 was charged by the first mechanic.

We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.

90+b=130

90-90+b=130-90

b= $40 was charged by the second mechanic

What is the Y value of the point that Partitions the directed line segment A.B. into a 1:3 ratio
xenn [34]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = | 8 - (- 4) | = | 12 |= 12

Divide 12 by the sum of the parts of the ratio, 1 + 3 = 4

12 ÷ 4 = 3

Thus

y = 8 - 3 = 5

Factor completely. x 3 + 6x 2 - 4x - 24
Ulleksa [173]
You can factor (x^3 and 6x^2) and (-4x and -24).

So x^2(x+6) - 4(x+6)

(x^2-4)(x+6)

(x-2)(x+2)(x+6)
