A rectangle patio that originally measured 5 feet by 10 feet was extended on one side each by x feet. The area of a new, larger,

L-shaped extension is 126 feet.

We solve for the area of the original triangle and solution is shown below:
Original triangle area = LW = 5*10 = 20 squared units

If we extend this x on one side that resulted to L-shaped, we have the new area such as shown below:
New area = (L+X) (W)
126 = (5+x) * 10
126/10 = 5+x
12.6 - 5 = x
7.6 =x

I. The equation that could be used to solve for x is below:
126 = (5+x)*w
II. We arrived on this because of the statement that "x is added to one side that resulted to L-shaped rectangle, therefore it is added on 5 ft side"
III. The value of x is equal to 7.6 ft.

Hannah can paint a room in 20 hours. Destiny can paint the same room in 16 hours. How long does it take for both Hannah and Dest
UNO [17]
Amount of room hannah can paint in an hour = 1/20
amount of room destiny can paint in an hour = 1/16
number of hours = x

1/20x + 1/16x = 1
the reason why this formula is true is, the amount of the room painted in the end should be 1 (the whole room)

4/80x + 5/80x = 1
9/80x = 1
9x = 80
x = 80/9 hours
x = 8.89 hours

Contact [7]

Answer:

The answer is most likely 5 shrimp eats 5 grams of food im one day,

Step-by-step explanation:

At an aquarium, a shrimp if fed 1/5 gram of food each feeding and is fed 3 times each day. <em>What is the constant of proportionality and what does it tell us about the situation?</em>

So, We know the shrimp is fed 1/5 gram of food each feeding, And we know the shrimp is fed 3 times each day.

Now, We need to answer the question, <u><em>What is the constant of proportionality and what does it tell us about the situation?</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Then, That means '5, shrimp eats 5 grams of food in one day ' is correct.

Graph -7x+5y=35. khan acadmy forms of linear equations question. pls show work (10 points)
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● -7x + 5y = 35

Add 7x to both sides

● -7x +7x + 5y = 35+7x

● 5y = 7x + 35

Divide both sides by 5

● 5y/5 = (7x+35)/5

● y = 1.4x + 7

The graph of the function:

Find the value of x and the value of y ?​
olganol [36]

Answer:

B)  x = 7,  y = 4\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the value of 'y' first by connecting the bases with another altitute measuring 4 units

you now have an isosceles triangle where each leg is 4 which makes the hypotenuse equal to 4\sqrt{2}

to find 'x', it is the sum of 3 and 4
