If the width of a rectangle is 3in less than the length, and the perimeter of the rectangle is 14in, find the length and width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer 1
You can write equations for the length (l) and width (w) as
.. l -w = 3
.. 2(l +w) = 14

Divide the second equation by 2 and add the first equation.
.. (2(l +w))/2 +(l -w) = (14)/2 +3
.. 2l = 10
.. l = 5
Then
.. w = l -3 = 2

The length and width are 5 inches and 2 inches, respectively.

Rich is driving from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh at 70 mph and Michelle is driving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia at 65 mph. If Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are 305 miles apart how long will it take rich and Michelle to meet?

Answers

Answer:

  2 7/27 hours, about 2 hours 15 minutes, 33 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know how long it takes for Rich and Michelle to meet if they start 305 miles apart and are driving toward each other. Rich is driving 70 mph, and Michelle is driving 65 mph.

Closing speed

The speed at which they are moving toward each other is ...

  70 mph + 65 mph = 135 mph

Meeting time

That means they will reduce their separation distance to zero after ...

  time = distance / speed

  time = (305 mi)/(135 mi/h) = 2 7/27 h

It will take 2 7/27 hours, about 2.26 hours, for Rich and Michelle to meet.

My best guess would be B. None of these
For this case, the first thing to do is to observe that we are in the presence of an isosceles triangle.
 We then have two equal sides:
 RS = ST
 Thus,
 Angle R = Angle T
 Then, we have the following equation:
 5x = 180- (5x-20)
 From here, we clear the value of x:
 5x = -5x + 180 + 20
 10x = 200

Answers

12x + 10 + 4y is equivalent to
2(6x + 5 + 2y).

This is because
2(6x + 5 + 2y) =
2 * 6x + 2 * 5 + 2 * 2y =
12x + 10 + 4y
12x + 10 + 4y= 2(6x + 5 + 2y)

Multiply it out

Solve the inequality and graph its solution: 2t + 1 > 9 or –18 > 5t – 3

Answers

Final answer:

To solve the inequality and graph its solution, solve the two separate inequalities: 2t + 1 > 9 and -18 > 5t - 3. The solution is t > 4 or t < -3.6. Graph the solution by plotting the points 4 and -3.6 on a number line, and shading the area to the right of 4 and the left of -3.6.

Explanation:

To solve the inequality and graph its solution, we need to solve the two separate inequalities:

1) 2t + 1 > 9

2) -18 > 5t - 3

For the first inequality, we can subtract 1 from both sides and divide by 2 to obtain t > 4.

For the second inequality, we can add 3 to both sides and divide by 5 to obtain t < -3.6.

Thus, the solution to the original inequality is t > 4 or t < -3.6.

To graph the solution, we would plot the points 4 and -3.6 on a number line, and shade the area to the right of 4 and the left of -3.6.

Final answer:

To solve the inequalities 2t + 1 > 9 and –18 > 5t – 3, we must solve each separately, and since it's an 'or' inequality, we combine the solution sets. The solutions are t > 4 and t < -3. Graphically, these solutions represent non-overlapping shaded regions on a number line.

Explanation:

To solve the inequality 2t + 1 > 9 or –18 > 5t – 3, we need to consider them separately as each inequality represents a different solution set.

For the first inequality:

Subtract 1 from both sides to obtain 2t > 8.Divide by 2 to isolate t, yielding t > 4.

For the second inequality:

Add 3 to both sides to get –15 > 5t.Divide by 5, which flips the inequality because we are dividing by a positive number, resulting in t < –3.

We interpret these results as two separate conditions:

t > 4: This suggests that t is any value greater than 4.t < –3: This suggests that t is any value less than -3.

Since the original statement uses 'or', the solution set includes all the values that satisfy either inequality. Therefore, graphically, we would show these on a number line with a shaded region to the right of 4 and another shaded region to the left of -3. The areas do not overlap because there are no t values that can simultaneously be greater than 4 and less than -3.

The goal of an optimization problem is to find the maximum or minimum value of the

Answers

to complete your statement: function. optimization is a very useful tool in calculus to calculate extremi of functions

An optimization problem seeks to maximize or minimize an objective function, involving endogenous and exogenous variables and is widely used in various fields. Linear optimization uses linear equations and can often be solved with gradient-based techniques in software like MS Excel.

The goal of an optimization problem is to find the maximum or minimum value of a specific function, which is known as the objective function. This function typically represents a scenario such as profit maximization or cost minimization in different fields such as business, economics, and engineering. In an optimization model, there are typically three components: the goal (e.g., maximize profits), the endogenous variables (e.g., the amount of goods produced or the number of hours worked), and the exogenous variables (e.g., price of the goods, wage rates). Linear optimization problems, in particular, represent the objective function and constraints as linear equations and are solved using various mathematical techniques.

Most optimization techniques, such as those used in MS Excel, are gradient-based and offer a systematic approach for finding the optimal solution that either maximizes or minimizes the objective function while satisfying a set of constraints. Whether the objective is to maximize utility or minimize costs, similar approaches can be applied, and sometimes the objective function can be stated in the minimization form in any linear optimization problem by using a transformation.

Form a seven-letter word by mixing up the letters in the word FIXTURE.
How many ways can you do this if no vowel is isolated between two consonants?

Answers

There are 4 consonants and 3 vowels. If the vowels can't be isolated between two consonants then the vowels would have to be right next to each other. Let's consider the vowels as a group so that they can be arranged in 3!=6 ways and the consonants 4!=24 ways. So:
6x24=144ways

You have the main rule: no vowel is isolated between two consonants.

The word FIXTURE consists of 4 consonants and 3 vowels.

There are such possible cases:

1. Formed word begins with three vowels and ends with 4 consonants.

The number of such words is [tex]3!\cdot 4!=6\cdot 24=144.[/tex]

2.  Formed word begins with two vowels and ends with one vowel (between them stand all consonants).

The number of such words is [tex]3\cdot 2!\cdot 4!=6\cdot 24=144.[/tex]

3. Formed word begins with one vowel and ends with two vowels (between them stand all consonants).

The number of such words is [tex]3\cdot 2!\cdot 4!=6\cdot 24=144.[/tex]

4. Formed word begins with with 4 consonants and ends with 3 vowels.

The number of such words is [tex]3!\cdot 4!=6\cdot 24=144.[/tex]

5. In total 144+144+144+144=576 different words.

The enrollment in college a may be modeled by y = 0.051x + 0.470, and the enrollment in college b may be modeled by y = –0.041x + 1.850, where x is the number of years since 1990 and y is the enrollment in thousands. when will the two colleges have the same enrollment and what is that enrollment?

Answers

The first equation represents the enrollments of college A
The second equation represents the enrollments of college B
if you let two equation equal to each other, you can understand them as the enrollments of college A and college B at "x" year.

0.051x + 0.470 = -0.041x + 1.850
0.051x + 0.041x = 1.850 - 0.470
0.092x = 1.38
x = 1.38/0.092 = 15 years from 1990, 1990 + 15 = 2005 
both equations represents the enrollments, but for specific the year of 2005, they have the same enrollments. You can either plug 2005 in the first or second equation, the answer will come out the same.
y = 0.051(2005) + 0.470 = 102.745 thousands of enrollments. It's awkward to say it this way, you can multiply 102.745 by 1000.
==> 102.725 * 1000 = 102725 enrollements 
===================================================================
The year of 2005 college A and college B both have the same enrollments of 102725.  

In year 2005, both the colleges have same enrollments and the total number of enrollments are 1235 students.

What is Two Variable linear Equation?

An equation is said to be linear equation in two variables if it is written in the form of ax + by + c=0, where a, b & c are real numbers and the coefficients of x and y, i.e a and b respectively, are not equal to zero.

Here, given relation between enrollment year and total number of enrollment

y = 0.051x + 0.470 ..............(i)

y = -0.041x + 1.850 ................(ii)

On comapring eq. (i) and eq. (ii), we get

0.051x + 0.470 = -0.041x + 1.850

0.051x + 0.041x = 1.850 - 0.470

0.092x = 1.380

x = 1.380 / 0.092

x = 15

put the value of x in equation (i), we get

y = 1235

Thus, In year 2005, both the colleges have same enrollments and the total number of enrollments are 1235 students.
