Answer:

1210 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the old farmland be x acres

new farmland = 968 acres

therefore

let us find 20% of the old farmland

=20/100x

=0.2x

Hence

968+0.2x=x

collect like terms

968=x-0.2x

968=0.8x

x= 968/0.8

x=1210 acres

A rectangle has a perimeter of 84 meters and a length of 35 meters. What is the width of the rectangle?
BaLLatris [955]
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we can use this formula: 2L + 2W
Where L is the length and W is the width.

We know the perimeter and we know the length and we want to find the width.
Substitute the values back into the formula.

2(35) + 2W = 84
70 + 2W = 84
2W = 14 <-- Subtract both sides by 70
W = 7 <-- Divide both sides by 2

So, width is 7 meters long.

lesya [120]

Answer:

(4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The object is first at (0,0)

It is reflected across line x=-2, this means you draw the mirror line at x=-2 and count 2 equal units backwards to get the image.The image will be at ;y=0\\\\x=-2-2=-4\\\\\\=(-4,0)

The image (-4,0) is then reflected on the y-axis

You know reflection on the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same but the x-coordinate is changed to its opposite sign.

Hence;

(- -4,0)= (4,0)

The image will move 8 units towards positive x-axis.This is the same as moving 4 units from the mirror line at (0,0) and land at (4,0)

If f (1)= -2, then the point is on the graph of f
Komok [63]
<h3>Answer:  (1, -2)</h3>

Explanation:

Writing f(1) = -2 means x = 1 and y = f(x) = -2 pair up together

So we have (x,y) = (1, -2) as the point on the f(x) curve.

How can I solve this math equation?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

1) You can graph this equation by using y=mx+b. You can replace that equation with y=3x-1.

M=3

X=x

B=-1

On a graph you would down 1 since it's negative and make a point. Then you would put a 1 under the 3 to make it a fraction. 3/1. Then you would divide 1 by 3 (1 ÷ 3). Then you would go to the right 0.33 because it's positive, and the up 1. Then you would make a second point.

This would only give you one line which wouldn't give you an intersection.
