Answer: 14s - 7s/2 = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that s is the length of the unknown side:

Area of the shaded region = 84

Area of rectangle - Area of triangle = 84

Area of rectangle = L * W

= 14 * s

= 14s

Area of triangle = ¹/₂ * base * height

= ¹/₂ * 14 * s/2

= 7s/2

Area of shaded region:

14s - 7s/2 = 84

Solving for s:

14s - 7s/2 = 84

28s - 7s = 168

21s = 168

s = 168/21

s = 8 inches

Find the slope of the line through the points (6,16) and (−6,4)
MakcuM [25]

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

m = \frac{4-16}{-6-6} \\m = \frac{-12}{-12} \\\\m = 1

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1. In case if you want to know the equation.

y=mx+b\\y=x+b\\4=-6+b\\4+6=b\\10=b\\

Therefore, the equation is y=x+10 by substituting the (-6,4) or we can substitute (6,16) too.

y=mx+b\\y=x+b\\16=6+b\\16-6=b\\10=b\\

It's the same, you can use any orders given.

Overall, the slope is 1 and the equation is y=x+10

Ashley and Gabby bought lunch from the food trucks on Sugar Day. Ashley bought 3 tacos and a drink for $7. Gabby bought 2 drinks
kramer

Answer:

$1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be solved using a simultaneous equation

let tacos = t

drink = d

3t + d = 7 -- eqn 1

2t + 2d = 8 -- eqn 2

Multiply equation 1 by 2 to derive equation 3

6t + 2d = 14 eqn 3

Substract equation 2 from equation 3

6t + 2d = 14 -- eqn 3

         -

2t + 2d = 8 -- eqn 2

= 4t = 6

solve for t

6/4 = 1.5

= $1.5

One of Julian's friends also has a rectangular aquarium. The dimensions of his friend's tank are each exactly 1 1/4 times the di
daser333 [38]

Answer:

468.75 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of Julian's tank be x

Let the width of Julian's tank be y

So, Area of Julian's tank=Length \times Width =xy

Since we are given that Julian's tank is approximately 300 square inches

So, xy=300  --1

Now we are given that  The dimensions of his friend's tank are each exactly1\frac{1}{4} =\frac{5}{4}times the dimensions of Julian's tank.

So,length of his friend's tank =\frac{5}{4}x

So,width of his friend's tank =\frac{5}{4}y

So, Area of his friend's tank=\frac{5}{4}x \times \frac{5}{4}y

                                             =\frac{25}{16}xy

                                             =\frac{25}{16}(300) (Using 1)

                                             =468.75

Hence the approximate area of the rectangular base of his friend's tank is 468.75 square inches.

So, Option D is correct.
