A square was altered so that one side is increased by 9 inches in the other side is decreased by 2 inches. The area of the resulting rectangle is 6o in 2 what was the area of the

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

area of the original square = 36 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

one side is increased = 9 inches

other side is decreased = 2 inches

area of the resulting rectangle = 60 in²

solution

we consider here x as the length of any one side

and

longer side of the resulting rectangle = x + 9

and

the shorter side x - 2

so that area of this rectangle is (s+9) × (s-2) = 60 in²

standard form of equation is  x² + 7x - 18 = 60   .....................1

it will be

x² + 7x - 78 = 0

(s+13) (s-6) = 0

so that here x  = -13

and  x = 6

here we Discard x = -13 because the side length cannot be negative.

so x = 6

and area of the original square = 36 in²

For the equation 2x + 7 =30, x = 3
O True
O False

Answers

The answer is false
Have a good day <3

Answer:  False

=============================================================

Explanation:

To see if the x value is a solution or not, we plug it into the equation given

2x+7 = 30 .... original equation

2*3 + 7 = 30 .... replace every x with 3, since we claim that x = 3

6 + 7 = 30 .... multiply 2 and 3 to get 6

13 = 30 ...... add 6 and 7 to get 13

We get two different numbers on either side, so the last equation is not true. We get a contradiction or false statement. So the original equation is false when x = 3. Therefore, x = 3 is not the solution.

That's why the overall claim is false.

Mr. Martin is giving a math test next period. The test, which is worth 100 points, has 29 problems. Each problem is
worth either 5 points or 2 points. Write a system of equations that can be used to find how many problems of each
point value are on the test.
Let x be the number of questions worth 5 points and let y be the number of questions worth 2 points.
x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100
x + y = 100, 5x + 2y = 29
5x + y = 29, 2y + x = 100
2x + y = 100, 5y + x = 29

Answers

Answer:

x + y = 29

5x + 2y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to set up equations

There are 29 problems, so adding up the number of individual problem types will give 29

x + y = 29 ••••••(i)

Let us work with points now;

x is worth 5 points, y is worth 2 points

Mindy needs to rake a rectangular part of her yard that is 9 feet by 8 feet. It takes her 10 minutes to rake an area that is 12 feet square. How long will it take Mindy to rake the rectangular part of her yard?

Answers

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to rake 12ft² = 10 minutes

Area of Mindy's rectangular path :

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

Dimension of Mindy's rectangular path = 9ft by 8ft

Area = 9ft * 8ft

Area = 72ft²

Hence, it will take Mindy;

(Area of Mindy's path / 12 ft) * time taken

(72ft² / 12ft²) * 10 minutes

6 * 10 = 60 minutes

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Daniela facing a 12 ft tall statue that is 15 ft away. She can see the reflection of the top of the statue in a puddle on the ground 5 ft in front of her. How tall is Daniela?

Hence, this is calculated as:

5ft/15ft = 12 ft/Daniela's height

Cross Multiply

5ft × Daniela's height = 15ft × 12ft

Daniela's height = 15ft × 12 ft/5ft

= 36ft

Therefore, Daniela's height = 36 ft

Aiden cuts a ball of string into 14 equal pieces. The length of each piece of string is 2 1/4 yards. What is the original length of the ball of string?

Answers

Answer:

31 1/2 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the original length of the ball of string we simply need to multiply the length of each piece of string by the total number of strings that were produced from the original ball of string. First, we can turn the 2 1/4 into a single decimal number. Since 1/4 is equal to 0.25 we just add this to 2 to get 2.25, now we can go ahead and multiply this by the 14 total pieces.

2.25 * 14 = 31.5 or 31 1/2 yards

For the graph on the right, find the Average Rate of Change from 7 to 60 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

The average rate of change from 7 to 60 minutes is 0.36 miles per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

at x₁ = 7, f(x₁) = 8

at x₂ = 60,  f(x₂) = 27

Using the formula to determine the average rate of change at which the total cost increases will be:

Average rate = [f(x₂) - f(x₁)] / [ x₂ - x₁]  

                     = [27 - 8] / [60-7]  

                     = 19 / 53

                     = 0.36

Therefore, the average rate of change from 7 to 60 minutes is 0.36 miles per minute.

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is y = n(x − h)2 + k, where (h, k) gives the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola in the xy-plane and the sign of the constant n determines whether the parabola opens upward or downward.

If n is negative, the parabola opens downward and the vertex is the maximum.

The given equation has the values h = 3, k = a, and n = −1.

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (3, a) and the parabola opens downward.

Thus, the parabola’s maximum occurs at (3, a)

if jessica starts to groom 1 hour before cynthia joins, how long will it take them to finish?

:

Multiply by the least common multiple of 6 and 8, 24. cancel the denominators
4(t+1) + 3t = 24
4t + 4 + 3t = 24
4t + 3t = 24 - 4

3) math club takes 40 minutes
science takes 50 minutes.
rate * time = quantity
quantity = 1 set up of the tables.
rate for math club is 1/40 of all the tables in 1 minute.
rate for science club is 1/50 of all the tables in 1 minute.
math club works for 10 minutes.
rate * time = quantity
1/40 * 10 = 10/40 = 1/4 of the tables are already set up by the math club.
there are 3/4 of the tables that still need to be set up.
rate * time = quantity
the rates of the math club and the science club are additive.
(1/40 + 1/50) * time = 3/4 of the tables that still need to be set up.
common denominator is 200.
(5/200 + 4/200) * time = 3/4.
9/200 * time = 3/4
time = 3/4 * 200/9 = 600 / 36 = 16 and 2/3 minutes.
total time required is 10 + 16 + 2/3 minutes = 26 + 2/3 minutes.
how to check.
10 minutes is used to do 1/4 of the tables.
16 + 2/3 minutes is used to do the remaining 3/4 of the tables.
combined rate of math and science club is 9/200 of the tables in 1 minute.
math club rate of 1/40 * 10 = 10/40 = 1/4 of the tables.
combine rate of 9/200 * (16 + 2/3) = 9/200 * 50/3 = 450/600 = 9/12 = 3/4 of the tables.
1/4 + 3/4 = 1 = all of the tables.
