The area of a rectangle is 24 square inches. Determine both dimensions if the length is 6 inches less than three times the width

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

width is 4 inches

length is 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the length is 6 inches less than three times the width

l = 3w - 6

a = l * w

a = (3w - 6)w

a = 3w^2 - 6w

area of the rectangle is 24 square inches

3w^2 - 6w = 24

subtract 24 from both sides

3w^2 - 6w - 24 = 0

Divide both sides by 3

w^2  - 2w - 8 = 0

Factor

(w - 4)(w + 2) = 0

w = {-2, 4}

disregard the negative root since measurement must be positive

w = 4

l = 3w - 6

l = 3(4) - 6

l = 6

What is a common denominator for 1 3/4 and 1 4/5

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

A common denominator is a number that is a multiple of both denominators.

To find it just write the multiplication table of the numbers and find a number that appears in both of them.

In this case, we have 4 and 5:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50

Since it only asks for a common denominator, it can be 20, 40, 60, 80... Although it's usually smarter to pick the lower number.

[tex]1\dfrac 34 =1+ \dfrac 34 =\dfrac 74 = \dfrac{35}{20}\\\\\\1\dfrac 45 = 1+ \dfrac 45 = \dfrac 95 =\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\\text{The answer is 20}[/tex]

A secured loan would most likely be used to pay for

A. college
B. a car
C. groceries
D. a phone

Answers

Obviously a phone and grocers :) Just kidding it’s probably college

A secured loan would most likely be used to pay for a car, the correct option is B.

We are given that;

The four options

Now,

A secured loan is a loan that is backed up by collateral pledged by the borrower, such as a car or property.

The lender can sell the collateral to cover repayment of the loan if the borrower defaults.

Car, since it is a common type of collateral for secured loans.

College, groceries and a phone are less likely to be used as collateral for secured loans, since they are either intangible, perishable or low-value assets.

Therefore, by loan the answer will be car.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ‼️ The graph represents the piecewise function:

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = \left \{ {{x + 3} \quad \text{if} \ -3 \leq x < -1\atop {5} \quad \text{if} \ -1 \leq x \leq1} \right.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the first function if you know the general form of a line:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope and [tex]b[/tex] the intercept point with the [tex]y[/tex]-axis.

So in the first case the slope is 1 because the next formula

[tex]m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2-0}{-1+3} = 1[/tex]

And you can find the interception point if extend the line, then in our case is  3.

So the function is:

[tex]f(x) = x + 5[/tex]

In the other case is constant function that's mean that the function has the next form

[tex]f(x) = k[/tex]

Where [tex]k[/tex] is a constant.

So you only have to observe what is the value for each point in the interval, in this occasion is 5.

So the final answer is:

[tex]f(x) = \left \{ {{x + 3} \quad \text{if} \ -3 \leq x < -1\atop {5} \quad \text{if} \ -1 \leq x \leq1} \right.[/tex]

Alvin’s family used 18.5 gallons of gas to drive 518 miles. How many miles did they drive per gallon of gas?

Please help me

Answers

Answer:

the answer is 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of miles Alvin’s family drive per gallon of gas is 28 miles.

Given that, Alvin’s family used 18.5 gallons of gas to drive 518 miles.

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

Number of miles drive per gallon of gas = Total number of miles ÷ Total number of gallons

= 518 ÷ 18.5

= 28 miles

Hence, the number of miles Alvin’s family drive per gallon of gas is 28 miles.

From a group of 15 men and 12 women, how many ways can you select a group of 2?
Answer:

Answers

The total number of ways this can be done together is 105 × 66 = 6930

This is a combination question question it has to do with selection.

In order to group 2 men from 15 men, this can be expressed using the combination formula as shown;

15C2 = 15!/(15-2)!2!

15C2 = 15!/13!2!

15C2 = 15×14/2

15C2 = 105 ways

Similarly in order to group 2 women from 12 men, this can be expressed using the combination formula as shown;

12C2 = 12!/(12-2)!2!

12C2 = 12!/10!2!

12C2 = 12×11/2

12C2 = 66 ways

The total number of ways this can be done together is 105 × 66 = 6930

A package contains 12 ounces of cereal .If you use 1 portion of this cereal which is 1 1/3 how much would be left in the cereal box?

Answers

To answer this question, you would need to divide the total amount of cereal in the box by the serving size.

This would be 12 2/3 divided by 1 1/3.

We can write each mixed number as an improper fraction first before we divide:12 2/3 = 38/3 and 1 1/3 = 4/3

Now divide 38/3 by 4/3. Recall that dividing by a fraction is accomplished by multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor: 38/3 * 3/4 = 114/12 = 38/4 OR 19/2

Also, 19/2 is equivalent to 9 and 1/2. There would be 9 and 1/2 servings in the box of cereal.

The first step is to Know the condition for two lines be parallel is that have the same slope, and this form the slope given is 2, therefore the new function has its slope too

2)  with the slope and the two points givens, you can find the equation

Y-Y1 = m( X-X1) ,   Y-6 = 2[(X-(-3)]  ⇒Y-6 = 2X+6 ⇒Y = 2X+12, AND THIS IS THE EQUATION PARALLEL TO THE LINE Y = 2X-7
