Answer:
Length: 20 or 40 feet
Width: 40 or 20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 800 = length*width = x*(60-x)= 60x - x^2
- x^2 + 60x - 800 = 0
x = 20
Or x = 40
So length can be either 20 feet or 40 feet and width can be 40 (60-20) or 20 (60-40)
Answer:
18/2 : 9
Step-by-step explanation:
X=hours of plan A
y=hours of plan B
wed: 5x+6y=12
thu: 3x+2y=6
so
5x+6y=12 and
3x+2y=6
we can eliminate y's by multiplying 2nd equation by -3 and adding to first equation
-9x-6y=-18
<u>5x+6y=12 +</u>
-4x+0y=-6
-4x=-6
divid both sides by -4
x=-6/-4
x=3/2
x=1.5
sub back
3x+2y=6
3(1.5)+2y=6
4.5+2y=6
2y=1.5
y=0.75
Plan A=1.5 hours
Plan B=0.75 hours
Answer:
y= -1/4
y= -0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6y+1= -1/2y+1/4
<em>Subtract 1 from both sides</em>
5/6y= -1/2y-3/4
<em>Add 1/2y to both sides</em>
1 1/3y= -3/4
<em>Divide both sides by 1/3</em>
y= -1/4
y= -0.25
