Kipish [7]3 years ago

Answer:

length = 7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

l = length

w = width

w = 3×l - 6

l×w = 105 m²

l×(3×l - 6) = 105

3×l² - 6×l = 105

l² - 2×l = 35

l² - 2×l - 35 = 0

solution of a squared equation is

(-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

a = 1

b = -2

c = -35

(2 ± sqrt(4 - 4×-35))/2 = (2 ± sqrt(4+140))/2 =

(2 ± sqrt(144))/2 = (2 ± 12)/2 = 1 ± 6

l1 = 1+6 = 7 meters

l2 = 1-6 = -5 meters, which did not make any sense for an actual object.

so, l = 7 meters remains.

What is the slope of this line?
jeyben [28]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be found using the slope formula with the two left-most marked points:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (6 -5)/(0 -(-4)) = 1/4

The slope of the line is 1/4.

Solve this equation: -7x + 12 – 2x = 23 + 13.0
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can combine the -7x and the -2x and the left side to get -9x and the 23 and 13 on the right side to get 36.

This gives us

-9x + 12 = 36

Subtacting 12 from both sides gives us

-9x = 24

dividing by -9 gives us

x = - 8/3

Please answer There is a bag filled with 3 blue and 5 red marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

\frac{15}{28}  is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Marbles = Blue + Red = 3 + 5 = 8

Probability of getting blue = \frac{3}{8}

Probability of not getting a blue =\frac{5}{8}

To get exactly one blue in two draws, we either get a blue, not blue, or a not blue, blue.

<u>First Draw Blue, Second Draw Not Blue:</u>

1st Draw: P(Blue) = \frac{3}{8}

2nd Draw: P(Not\:Blue)=\frac{5}{7}  (since we did not replace the first marble)

To get the probability of the event, since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities.

P(Event)=\frac{3}{8}\cdot \frac{5}{7}=\frac{15}{56}

<u>First Draw Not Blue, Second Draw Not Blue:</u>

1st Draw: P(Not\:Blue)=\frac{5}{8}

2nd Draw: P(Not\:Blue)=\frac{3}{7}  (since we did not replace the first marble)

To get the probability of the event, since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities.

P(Event)=\frac{5}{8}\cdot \frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{56}

To get the probability of exactly one blue, we add both of the events:

\frac{15}{56}+\frac{15}{56}=\frac{15}{28}
