Answer:
∠TUV = 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this figure is a kite, we know that; ∠TUV ≈ ∠TWV, so first we solve for x:
9x - 6 = 7x + 22
2x - 6 = 22
2x = 28
x = 14
Now, substitute 14 in for x, in the equation for ∠TUV:
∠TUV = 9x - 6
∠TUV = 9(14) - 6
∠TUV = 126 - 6
∠TUV = 120°
Hope this helps!
Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> the length of the rectangular garden
y---> the width of the rectangular garden
we know that
The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to
we have
so
simplify
------> equation A
Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
----> this is a vertical parabola open downward
The vertex is a maximum
The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area
The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area
using a graphing tool
The vertex is the point 
see the attached figure
so
Find the value of y
The garden is a square
the area is equal to
----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct
5w^2 = A
You would multiply the width (w) by 5 because it's 5 times more than twice it's width. Then w (Width) would be to the power of 2 because it's 5 times more than twice its width. And this will all equal the Area (a)
Answer:
x = -2 and y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following system of linear equations;
y=x+4
y=-2x-2
To solve the above system, we shall be equating the right hand sides of the two equations since we have y's on the left hand side of both equations;
x + 4 = -2x - 2
add 2x on both sides of the equation;
x + 4 + 2x = -2x - 2 + 2x
3x + 4 = -2
subtract 4 on both sides of the equation;
3x + 4 - 4 = -2 - 4
3x = -6
x = -2
We can use the first equation y=x+4 to determine the value of y;
y = -2 + 4
y = 2
The solution to the system of linear equations is thus;
x = -2 and y = 2
