Answer:

x = 5, y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution to solve the system of equations.

We'll replace y in x + y = 20 with 3x, since y = 3x.

x + 3x = 20

Combine like terms

4x = 20

Divide by 4 on both sides

x = 5

Now to solve for y (don't forget!)

We'll plug x = 5 back into one of the original equations

y = 3(5) = 15

Check first equation:

15 = 3(5)

15 = 15

Check second equation:

5 + 15 = 20

20 = 20

If ab= 7x-6 and bc= 12-2x. Then what does ac equal?

ra1l [238]

Ab = (7x-6) → b = (7x-6)/a (1)

bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c (2)

Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x) (3)

Multiply both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their respective denominators;

(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:

ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x) or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72

You are enclosing a rectangular garden with 180 feet of omamental fencing. The area of the garden is 1800 square feet. What are

Brut [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is

P = 2L + 2W. We are given the perimeter as 180 feet, so

180 = 2L + 2W. Solve this for either L or W. I chose W, no reason...

180 - 2L = 2W so

90 - L = W Hold that thought. We'll come back to it in a minute.

Area is

A = LW. We are given the area as 1800 square feet, so

1800 = LW. Sub in 90 - L for W:

1800 = L(90 - L). Distribute to get a quadratic:

$1800=90L-L^2$

Get everything on one side and solve for the length by factoring:

$-L^2+90L-1800=0$

Factor this however you like to factor quadratics, to get the length of

L = 30 and L = 60. First off, the length is longer than the width in general, so if we want to solve for the width, plug in 60 as L in the equation in bold print:

90 - 60 = W and

30 = W

So L = 60 and W = 30
