Answer:

The dimensions are:

Length = 5m and Width = 4m

Or

Length = 4m and Width = 5m

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular dining room has an area of 20 square meters. It's perimeter is 18 meters. What are the dimensions of the dining room?

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

= LW = 20 m²

Perimeter of a rectangle =

2L + 2W = 18 m

Hence:

LW = 20...... Equation 1

L = 20/W

2L + 2W = 18 ...... Equation 2

We substitute

20/W for L in Equation 2

2(20/W) + 2W = 18

40/W + 2W = 18

Multiply through by W

40 + 2W² = 18W

2W² - 18W + 40 = 0

2W² - 10W - 8W + 40 = 0

(2W - 8 )(W - 5) = 0

2W - 8 = 0

2W = 8 , W = 8/2 = 4m

W - 5 = 0

W = 5m

W = 4m or 5 m

Solving for L

When W = 5 m

L = 20/W

L = 20/5

L = 4m

When W = 4m

L = 20/W

L = 20/4

L = 5m

Therefore, the dimensions are:

Length = 5m and Width = 4m

Or

Length = 4m and Width = 5m

How do you write (-2,-4),(-3,-3) into slope intercept form
zzz [600]

Answer- y=−3x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will write and equation in point-slope form and then convert to slope-intercept form.

To use the point-slope form we must first determine the slope.

The slope can be found by using the formula :m=y2−y1x2−x1

<em>Where </em>m  is the slope and   (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)  are the two points on the line.

Substituting the values from the points in the problem gives:m=3−−32−4m=3+32−4m=6−2=−3

We can now use this calculated slope and either point to write the equation in point-slope form.

The point-slope formula states: (y−y1)=m(x−x1)

Where m  is the slope and  (x1y1) is a point the line passes through.

Again, substituting gives:  (y−−3)=−3(x−4) (y+3)=−3(x−4) We can now convert this to slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b  is the y-intercept value.

We can solve our equation for y:

(y+3)=−3(x−4) y+3=(−3×x)−(−3×4)y+3=−3x−(−12)y+3=−3x+12y+3−3=−3x+12−3y+0=−3x+9y=−3x+9

This took me so long to type lol, hope this helps you and have a great day noon or night! <3   ❤️

(5s-6)(3s+2) please just give me the answer I have to turn it in today
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

you subtract common numbers, so:

5s - 3s = 2s

Then,

-6 + 2 = -4

You would then get

2s - 4

divide -4 by 2 which is -2

and your answer is s = -2

You and your friend leave your houses at the same time to meet at a restaurant. The distance (in miles) your friend is from the
laila [671]

Answer:   y = - 60 x +150

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the function which represents the distance between my friend and restaurant,

y = - 40x +100

Where,  x is the number of hours since my friend left home.

Since, when he covered the whole distance y = 0

Then -40x +100 = 0

⇒ -40x  = -100

⇒ x = 2.5

Thus, he is taking 2.5 hours to covered the whole distance.

And, According to question, me and my friend take the same time to covered the distance.

Thus, the time taken by me to covered 150 miles distance = 2.5 hours.

Therefore, my speed = 150/2.5 = 60 miles per hour.

Thus, in x hour the distance between me and restaurant,

y = 150 - 60x

Which is the required equation.
