Area of rectangles = width * length.
So x*12 = 12x = area of first rectangle
So 16*(x-2) = 16x -32 = area of second rectangle

The question states to make them equal, so:
first rectangle = second rectangle
12x = 16x -32
Solve for x
-4x = -32
4x = 32
x = 8

How do you find the radius of a circle with a circumference of 12pi

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is $2\pir$ $\pi r$ , so $12\pi=2\pi r\\12=2r\\r=6$ . We can use this because the area of a circle is $\pi r^2$ . Thus, $\pi*6^2=36\pi$ .

Find the equation of the line that contains the given point and the given slope. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

stealth61 [152]

The slope-point form of a line:

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

The slope-intercept form of a line:

$y=mx+b$

$m=6,\ (4,\ 1)\to x_0=4,\ y_0=1$

Substitute

$y-1=6(x-4)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\y-1=6x-24\qquad|\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=6x-23}$

$m=-5,\ (6,\ -3)$

Substitute

$y-(-3)=-5(x-6)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\y+3=-5x+30\qquad|\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=-5x+24}$

$m=-\dfrac{1}{2},\ (-8,\ 2)\\\\y-2=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-(-8))\\\\y-2=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+8)\\\\y-2=-\dfrac{1}{2}x-4\qquad|\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x-2}$

$m=0,\ (-7,\ -1)\\\\y-(-1)=0(x-(-7))\\\\y+1=0\qquad|\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=-1}$

Devin is collecting signatures for a petition to open a new park in her town. She needs to collect at least 1,000

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

P = t - f

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find how many pages in total she needs so 1,000/80 - 12.5 so 13 pages. Then 380/80 4.75 of a page filled so subtract that from 12.5 to get 8 pages left to fill.

let p = pages left to fill

let T = total pages needed

let F = pages already filled

What is the average speed for the interval t=1 hour to t=3 hours

inysia [295]

Answer:

7.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed over the interval [1, 3] = (distance at 3 hrs -distance at 1 hr)/(3 hrs - 1 hr)

From the graph:

Distance at 3 hrs = 30 => (3, 30)

Distance at 1 hr = 15 => (1, 15)

Average speed = (30 - 15)/(3 - 1)

Average speed = 15/2

= 7.5

Therefore, average speed = 7.5 miles per hour
