Answer:

width = 5 in

length = 17 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

width = w

length = 2 + 3w

85 = (w) x (2 + 3w)

85 = 2w + 3w³

this can be solved using quadratic equation

3w³ + 2w - 85 = 0

factors of 3w³ x -85 that add up to 2w are : +17 w and -15w

(3w³ - 15w) (17w - 85) = 0

3w(w - 5) 17(w - 5) 0

w = 5

or w = - 17/3

the width cannot be a negative number. the correct width is 5 in

Length = 2 x 3(5) = 17 inches

What is the solution for x in the equation -4x+5x-7=10+3x-2x
jarptica [38.1K]
You combined the x’s together then u wanna move all the x’s to one side then after that you would want to do the opposite of -7, so then you add 7 to 10 and then you would divide everything by 2 and get x=8.5

Mark is taking pledges for bike-a-thon fundraiser. John pledged $2.00, plus $1.75 for each mile Mark bikes. Kiara pledged $5.25,
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The equation for the amount of dollars pledged in total is f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25, and the amount for just Kiara is f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount they pledge up front is a constant and therefore need to be added to the end of the equation. The amount per mile should be a variable amount. This gets multiplied by the M variable. So we start with the Kiara amount.

0.25 per mile = 0.25M

5.25 pledged = 5.25

Now put them together to get f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25

Do the same with Mark.

1.75 per mile = 1.75M

2.00 pledged = 2.00

Now put them together to get f(M) = 1.75M + 2.00

To get the final total, we add both equations together.

f(M) =  0.25M + 5.25 + 1.75M + 2.00

f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25
