A rectangle has a perimeter of 44 inches and an area of 72 square inches. What are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle?

A) 2 inches and 36 inches
B) 4 inches and 18 inches
C) 8 inches and 9 inches
D) 11 inches and 11 inches

IT IS NOT D, I TRIED IT AND IT DOESNT WORK!

Answers

Answer 1
A rectangle has a perimeter of 44 inches and an area of 72 square inches.Perimeter = 44 inches, area = 72 square inches.Let the length and breadth be l and b respectively.We know, perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)Therefore,2(l + b) = 44

or, l + b = 22

or, b = 22 - l ...(i)

We know, area of a rectangle = lbTherefore,lb = 72Putting (i) in b, we getl(22 - l) = 72

or, 22l - l^2 -72 = 0

or, l^2 - 22l + 72 = 0

or, l^2 - 4l - 18l + 72 = 0

or, l(l - 4) - 18(l - 4) = 0

or, (l - 4)(l - 18) = 0

or, l = 4 or l = 18

Therefore, if the length is 4 inches, then the breadth is (22-4) inches, i.e., 18 inches.And if the length is 18 inches, then the breadth is (22-18) inches, i.e., 4 inches.

Answer:

B) 4 inches and 18 inches.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

gallonsCassie is measuring the volume of her fish tank to find the amount of water needed to fill it. Which unit of measurement should she use to eliminate the need to write the value in scientific notation? teaspoons inches gallons pounds

Answers

Answer:

  a) gallons

  b) gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

1 fluid ounce is about 6 teaspoons or 30 cubic centimeters or 1.8 cubic inches. 2.3×10^4 fluid ounces is less than 1 cubic yard. We suspect the pool is much larger than that, so its volume is probably measured in gallons.

__

b)

Of the units listed, only teaspoons and gallons are units of volume. As we saw in the previous problem, a teaspoon is a pretty small volume in relation to the size of most fish tanks. The appropriate unit of measure would be gallons.

what is the domain of f? khan academy

Answers

Answer:

x cannot = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

if x = -2 then the denominator is 0 and a fraction with 0 as a denominator is undefined.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = [tex]\frac{x-3}{x+2}[/tex]

The denominator cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be.

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2 ← excluded value in the domain

The domain of f(x) is all real values of x such that x ≠ - 2

how do I write an equation of a line that is parallel to 2x-3y=15

Answers

The line given is -2x + 3y = 15, so we must rearrange:

=> 3y = 2x + 15
=> y = 2/3 x + 5

These two equations are EQUIVALENT, but one is in slope intercept form, the other isn't.

So in this case, gradient is 2/3 (or 2 units up, and 3 units across).

And we know that parallel lines have the same gradient. Hence, the general equation for lines parallel to it will be:

y = 2/3 x + n

where n can be any number (positive/negative, decimal/fraction/integer) except 5, which is original line.

For example, y = 2/3 x + 2

13. Xander and Kennedy have a bet to see who can get more "friends" on a social media side after 1 month. Kennedy
has 11 more friends than Xander when they start the competition. After much work, Kennedy doubles her amount
of friends and Xander quadruples (4 times) his. In the end they have a total of 232 friends.

Answers

Answer:

Xander has 140 friends

Kennedy has 92 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent # of friends Xander has at the start

Let x+11 represent # of friends Kennedy has at the start

Let 2(x+11) rep. the final # of friends Kennedy has

Let 4x rep. the final # of friends Xander has

Total = 232

So we just need to solve for x:

2(x+11) + 4x = 232

2x + 22 + 4x = 232

6x = 210

x = 35             < - This means that xander started with 4 friends.

Sub x to find friends for each:

4x = ?

4(35) = 140 friends

2(x+11) = ?

2(35+11) = 92

-6(-5n+3)+2=-166

PLEASE HELP ;(((((((

Answers

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-6(-5n+3)+2=-166

distribute the -6

- 6 * -5n = 30n

-6 * 3 = - 18

30n - 18 + 2 = -166

combine like terms

30n - 16 = -166

add 16 to both sides

30n = -150

divide both sides by 30

30n/30=n

-150/30=-5

we're left with n = -5

you start by subtracting 2 from both sides and distributing the 6 inside the parentheses. this gives you 30n-18=-168. from there you add 18 to both sides to get 30n=-150. you next divide both sides by 30 to get your final answer of n=-5

We can use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the slope.

1. 2-(-15)/12-5 gives us 17/7. The slope is 17/7.

2. -5-(-20)/6-(-18) gives us 15/24. We can simplify this to 5/8. The slope is 5/8.

3. -19-(-19)/-17-(-18) is 0/1. The slope is 0.
