Lawrence High prevailed in Saturday's track

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent a first place finish, y represent a second place finish and z represent a third place finish.

Since there is a total of 20 individual events, hence:

x + y + z = 20          (1)

A first place finish is 5 point, a second place finish is 3 point and third place finish is 1 point. Therefore:

5x + 3y + z = 68      (2)

The second  place finishers is as much as first and third-place  finishers combined. Hence:

y = x + z                   (3)

Solving equation 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously gives:

x = 7,  y = 10 and z = 3

This means the number of first place finishes was 7, second place finishes was 10 and third place finishes was 3

3.2-4d=2.3d+3 i need the answer
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

d=0.031746

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add 4d to both sides: 3.2=2.3d+3+4d

2. Simplify 2.3d +3+ 4d to 6.3d+3: 3.2=6.3d+3

3. Subtract 3 from both sides: 3.2-3=6.3d

4. Simplify 3.2-3 to 0.2: 0.2-6.3d

5. Divide both sides by 6.3: 0.2/6.3=d

6. Simplify 0.2/6.3 to 0.031746: 0.031746=d

7. Switch sides: d=0.031746

Hope this helped!

What is the x-intercept for the following linear equation:
Alexandra [31]
The "x-intercept" occurs when y=0, because it is at this point that the equation touches the x axis.  So if you plug in y=0 into the equation you can solve for the x coordinate.

4x-2(0)-8=0

4x-8=0

4x=8

x=2

So the x-intercept is the point (2,0)

The rectangle below has an area of 1 8 x 3 18x 3 square meters and a length of 2 x 2 2x 2 meters.

Answer:

\text{The width of rectangle}=9x\text{ meters}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the rectangle has an area of 18x^3 square meters and a length of 2x^{2}. We are asked to find the width of rectangle.

Since we know that area of a rectangle is width times length of the rectangle, so we can find width of our given rectangle by dividing given area by length of rectangle.

\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Width of rectangle *Length of the rectangle}

\frac{\text{Area of rectangle}}{\text{Length of rectangle}}=\frac{\text{Width of rectangle *Length of the rectangle}}{\text{Legth of rectangle}}

\text{The width of rectangle}=\frac{\text{Area of rectangle}}{\text{Length of rectangle}}

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\text{The width of rectangle}=\frac{18x^3\text{ meter}^2}{2x^2\text{ meters}}

\text{The width of rectangle}=\frac{9x^3\text{ meters}}{x^2}

Using exponent rule for quotient \frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n} we will get,

\text{The width of rectangle}=9x^{3-2}\text{ meters}

\text{The width of rectangle}=9x^{1}\text{ meters}=9x\text{ meters}

Therefore, width of our given rectangle will be 9x meters.
