Area = Length X Width
Perimeter = l(2) x W(2)
what are the measures of this rectangle?
Answer:
1. The amount of time you keep your porch light on.
2. The temperature you keep your air conditioner at.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Porch Light Time Example: </u>
The light does not turn on or off based on the bill, thus its independent, but the bill is effected by the amount of time the light is on thus dependent.
You keep your porch light on for 24 hours a day for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $50.
Next month you keep your porch light on for 12 hours a day and your electricity bill is $40.
<u>Air Conditioner Temp Example: </u>
The thermostat temperature is not effected by the bill, thus its independent, but the bill is effected by the thermostat, thus dependent.
You set your thermostat to 70 degrees for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $50.
Next month you set your thermostat to 75 degrees for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $40.
Answer:
$1.5 and $8.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
let tables be x and chairs be y
The total cost to rent 3 chairs and 2 tables is $22
so
3x+2y=22----------1
The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 6 tables is $60
so
5x+6y=60---------2
the system of equation is
3x+2y=22----------1X 6
5x+6y=60---------2X 2
18x+12y= 132
- 10x+12y=120
8x+0y= 12
8x= 12
divide both sides by 8
x= 12/8
x=$1.5
put x= 1.5 in 2
5(1.5)+6y=60---------2
7.5+6y=60
6y=60-7.5
6y=52.5
divide both sides by 6
y= 52.5/6
y=$8.75
(an improper fraction) can be simplified to
(a mixed number)
