TEA [102]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

My bid was $42 less than the winning bid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The winning bid is x.

$28 is 40% of x

0.4x = 28

x = 28/0.4

x = 70

The winning bid was $70.

$70 - $28 = $42

Answer: My bid was $42 less than the winning bid.

A new Community Center is being built in Oak Valley. The perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 382 yards. The length of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The width is 50 yards and the length is 141 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call: L the length of the field and W the width of the field.

From the sentence, the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 382 yards we can formulate the following equation:

2L + 2W = 382

Because the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of two times the length with two times the width.

Then, from the sentence, the length of the field is 9 yards less than triple the width, we can formulate the following equation:

L = 3W - 9

So, replacing this last equation on the first one and solving for W, we get:

2L + 2W = 382

2(3W - 9) + 2W = 382

6W -18 +2W = 382

8W - 18 = 382

8W = 382 + 18

8W = 400

W = 400/8

W = 50

Replacing W by 50 on the following equation, we get:

L = 3W - 9

L = 3(50) - 9

L = 141

So, the width of the rectangular field is 50 yards and the length is 141 yards.

Andrew is hiking in a mountainous area of a state park. Use the given key features to sketch a graph.
Molodets [167]

Using the features, a piece-wise function is defined, and the graph is sketched at the end of this answer.

A piece-wise function is a function that has <u>multiple definitions</u>, depending on the value of the input.

He starts at 0 feet, and reaches a maximum elevation of 800 feet in 30 minutes, with a steady(linear) increase thus, for the first 30 minutes, the definition is:

h(t) = \frac{800}{30}t, 0 \leq t < 30

For the next 5 minutes, he stops to rest, at the maximum elevation of 800 feet, thus, the definition is:

h(t) = 800, 30 \leq t < 35

For the final 20 minutes, he descends 800 meters, at a linear rate, thus:

h(t) = 800 -\frac{800(t-35)}{20} = 800 - 40(t - 35), 35 \leq t \leq 55

Using these definitions, the graph is sketched at the end of this answer.

Solve the equation a=m-n for the variable n
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

m-a = n

Step-by-step explanation:

a=m-n

Subtract m from each side

a-m = m-n-m

a-m = -n

Multiply each side by -1

-a+m = n

m-a = n

Put the following steps in order for multi step equations
kakasveta [241]

Soil is the thin layer of material covering the earth's surface and is formed from the weathering of rocks. It is made up mainly of mineral particles, organic materials, air, water and living organisms—all of which interact slowly yet constantly. ... Therefore, most living things on land depend on soil for their existence.
