The area of a rectangular living room is calculated using length multiplied by width

This area is stated to be 40 square meters (area = 40 sq. meters)

Let the width be x meters

Length will be X+3 meters

Area = Length x Width

40 = X * (X+3)

40 = X^2 + 3X

x^2 + 3x -40 =0

We solve this quadratic equation

x^2 + 8x - 5x -40 =0

x*(x+8) -5 *(x+8) =0

(x+8) (x-5) =0

Thus, x = 5 or x= -8

As width cannot be negative, we discard x =-8

Hence, x = 5 is the solution

Width of the room = 5 meters

A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line is labeled y equals negative StartFraction 7 over 4 EndFraction x plus StartFract
AnnZ [9071]

Answer:

1) (2.2, -1.4)

2) (1.33, 1)

Detailed solution:

Question 1)

We are provided with two linear equations representing lines, and we need to find the intersection point that solves the system.

The lines given are:

Line 1 equation:

y=\frac{-7}{4}x+\frac{5}{2}

This line passes through points (0, 2.5) and (2.2, -1.4).

Line 2 equation:

y=\frac{3}{4}x-3

The second line goes through (0, -3) and (2.2, -1.4).

According to the graph and data, the solution to the system is the coordinate where both lines intersect.

The solution to a system of linear equations is the coordinate pair common to both lines, i.e., the intersection point.

Here, both lines share the point (2.2, -1.4), indicating it is their intersection and the solution.

Therefore, the solution for question 1 is (2.2, -1.4).

Question 2)

The equations given are:

y = 1.5x - 1               Equation 1

y = 1                           Equation 2

The method of substitution can be used to find the solution.

Replacing y from Equation 2 into Equation 1 gives:

1 = 1.5x - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

2 = 1.5x

Dividing both sides by 1.5 yields:

x = 2/1.5

x = 1.33

y = 1

Thus, the solution of the system is (1.33, 1).

It takes 45 minutes to drive to the nearest bowling alley taking city streets going
tester [8808]
21 minutes. Step-by-step explanation: Considering the following: Using CITY STREET: The duration to drive to the nearest bowling alley is 45 minutes, which is 0.75 hours. The travel speed is 30 miles per hour. Switching to FREEWAY: the travel speed here is 65 miles per hour. Assuming both routes cover the same distance, the time required on the FREEWAY will be as follows: The distance calculated using the city route results in 30 mph = distance / 0.75 hour, giving a distance of 22.5 miles. As the distance remains consistent: Time taken on the FREEWAY = distance / speed, which results in 22.5 / 65 = 0.3461538 hours. Converting to minutes = 0.3461538 × 60, which rounds to approximately 21 minutes.

Kathleen and Arnob both run from the park entrance along a loop. Kathleen starts walking from the park entrance and gets a 5-mil
zzz [9066]

In this scenario, the first step is to assign variables.

We define:

x: time measured in minutes

y: distance covered.

The equations formulated are as follows:

For Kathleen:

y = (\frac{1}{15}) x + 5

For Arnob:

y = (\frac{2}{15}) x

At the moment Arnob meets Kathleen, we have:

(\frac{1}{15}) x + 5 = (\frac{2}{15}) x

Next, we isolate x.

We now have:

(\frac{2}{15}) x - (\frac{1}{15}) x = 5

(\frac{1}{15}) x = 5\\x = (15) * (5)\\x = 75 min

Answer:

Arnob takes a total of 75 minutes to catch up to Kathleen:

d. 75

Angelica is working with function machines. She has the two machines at shown at the right. She wants to put them in order so th
Leona [9260]
To achieve the desired output, first use the machine with the function y = x^2 - 6, followed by the machine that computes y = sqrt(x-5). This way, when you input 6, the output from the first machine is calculated as x = 6, yielding y = 6^2 - 6, resulting in 30 as the input for the second machine. The second machine then processes this to provide the final output of sqrt(30 - 5), which equals sqrt(25) = 5. Alternatively, to obtain a negative final output, you should first utilize the machine with the function y = sqrt(x-5). Assuming you start with the value x = 9, the first machine computes this to sqrt(9-5), which is sqrt(4) = 2. Then, the second machine converts y to 2^2 - 6, leading to a result of 4 - 6 = -2.
