A = L * W........x = W
L = 2x + 3
A = 119

119 = x(2x + 3)
119 = 2x^2 + 3x
2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0
(2x + 17)(x - 7) = 0

2x + 17 = 0
2x = -17
x = - 17/2 or - 8.5....wont work because it is negative

x - 7 = 0           L = 2x + 3
x = 7                L = 2(7) + 3
                        L = 14 + 3
                        L = 17

so the width (x) = 7 inches and the length (L) = 17 inches...
the equation used was : 119 = x(2x + 3)...or 2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0...not sure which equation they want...but they are the same

1.)There is one outlier, indicating very few books were checked out on that day

This is because there is one day where only 2 books were checked out while on all of the other days 35-45 books were checked out.

2.) 0; it represents no correlation between x and y

This is because no matter the age they could answer 17 questions

Hope this helps!

You have 12 coins, one of which is fake. The fake coin is indistinguishable from the rest except that it is heavier. Can you det
Anton [14]
Yep! 
Weighing #1: Start off by splitting the pile of 12 coins evenly into two piles, 6 in each pile. Put one pile on each side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has the fake coin it in. Ignore the other 6 coins.

Weighing #2: Now you have 6 coins left. Split the pile evenly again, 3 in each pile. Repeat the same process and put each pile on one side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has your fake coin in it. Ignore the other 3 coins.

Weighing #3: You have 3 coins left. Take two coins, whichever two you like, and weigh them. If they weigh the same, then the one you didn't weigh is the fake one. If one is heavier, then that heavier one is your fake coin.

Solve by the substitution method.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The unique solution to the system is (x,y){(-9,-3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = -6     equation 1

5x + 6y = -63     equation 2

We will find the value of x from equation 1.

x= y-6

Now put the value of x in equation 2.

5(y-6)+6y = -63

5y-30+6y = -63

Combine the like terms:

5y+6y= -63+30

11y = -33

Divide both sides by 11.

11y/11 = -33/11

y = -3

Now put the value y = -3 in x=y-6

x = y-6

x= -3-6

x= -9

Therefore The unique solution to the system is (x,y){(-9,-3)} ....

Lets calculate gear ration T2/T1
so the gear ratio will be 1.6 it simply means dat if u rotate large gears one full revolution it tends to turn another short wheel to 1.6 revs, so in ur qtion the large whell revs 100 den u must multiply wid 1.6*100= 160 revs
