Answer:
The width of rectangle w = 4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Width of rectangle = w
Length of rectangle = w+ 4
Area of rectangle = 32 units
We need to find width of the rectangle
The formula used is:
Putting values and finding width of rectangle
We need to solve this quadratic equation to find width (w)
We will use factorisation and break the middle term.
Since width of rectangle can't be negative, so rejecting w=-8
Therefore, the width of rectangle w = 4 units
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
both linear equations will have the form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Chef Mate
c(n) = mn + c
calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 14) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 18.5) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = =
= 4.5 , then
c(n) = 4.5n + c ( n represents ounces )
To find c substitute any ordered pair from the table into c(n)
using (4, 23 )
23 = 18 + c ⇒ c = 23 - 18 = 5
c(n) = 4.5n + 5 ← equation for Chef Mate
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Similarly for Grocery Gourmet
g(n) = mn + c
using (2, 23 ) and (3, 27 ) to find m
m = =
= 4 , then
g(n) = 4n + c
using (4, 31 ) to find c
31 = 16 + c ⇒ c = 31 - 16 = 15
g(n) = 4n + 15 ← equation for Grocery Gourmet
------------------------------------------------------------------
Equate the 2 equations to find when cost is the same
4.5n + 5 = 4n + 15 ( subtract 4n from both sides )
0.5n + 5 = 15 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
0.5n = 10 ( divide both sides by 0.5 )
n = 20
Then when n = 20
c(n) = 4.5(20) + 5 = 90 + 5 = 95
g(n) = 4(20) + 15 = 80 + 15 = 95
Both Chef Mate and Grocery Gourmet charge $95 for 20 ounces of extract
