31.625 ft all you had to do was add 23.875 and 7.750 to find the total distance from the top to the bottom
Answer:
w = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
First we take the two values for the breadth of the rectangle
So:
5x - 9 = 3x + 7
now we solve this equation as follows:
5x - 3x = 9 + 7
2x = 16
x = 8
now that we have found the value for x, we can substitute it in the equation, 5x - 9,or in the equation, 3x + 7.
when we substitute x in any of these equations, we get
5(8) - 9 = 31
3(8) + 7 = 31
now that we have the value for the breadth we can form the following equation:
31 × w = 310
31w = 310
w = 310/31 = 10
Let T represent the fifth test score. The average is the sum of scores divided by their number.
... 82 = (83 +75 +93 +67 +T)/5
... 410 = 318 +T . . . . . . . multiply by 5
... 92 = T . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 318
The fifth score was 92.
_____
One of the ways I like to work problems like these is to add the differences from the mean. Those are ...
1, -7, 11, -15
so their sum is -10.
The final score must be 10 above the mean in order for this total to be zero. 10 above the mean is 92.
The maximum happens at x = -b/2a
x = -48/2(-16) = 3/2
Now replace x in the equation and solve for y:
y = 48(3/2) - 16(3/2)^2
y = -72 - 36
y = 36
The maximum height is 36 feet.
