Answer:
5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 0.5x + 5
Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.
Slope: 0.5
y-intercept: 5
Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding values.
To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y.
y = 0.5(0) + 5
y = 5
To graph the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 1 for the x variable and solve for y.
y = 0.5(1) + 5
y = 5.5
Which means when x is 0, y intercept at 5 and when x is 1 y intercept at 5.5. Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.
This tells us, in practical terms, that, for every one unit that the x-variable increases (that is, moves over to the right), the y-variable increases (that is, goes up) by 50% of a unit.
Answer: The length is 6 feet and the width is 10 feet.
Step-by-step explanation: The question has specified the area as 60 (square feet) and the length and width are yet unknown. However we know that the length is 4 feet less than the width. What this means is that, if the width is W, then the length is W - 4.
We can now write an equation for the area of the rectangle as follows;
Area = L x W
60 = (W - 4) x W
60 = W^2 - 4W
If we rearrange all terms on one side of the equation, we now have
W^2 - 4W - 60 = 0
This is a quadratic equation and by factorizing, we now have
(W + 6) (W - 10) = 0
Hence,
Either W + 6 = 0 and then W = -6
Or W - 10 = 0 and then W = 10
We know that the side of the rectangle cannot be a negative value, so we go with W = 10.
Having calculated W as 10, the length now becomes
L = W - 4
L = 10 - 4
L = 6
Therefore, length = 6 feet and width = 10 feet
X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000
x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000
The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²
To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).
