The length of a rectangle is 3 m longer than its width.
The area of the rectangle is 154m^2
What is the width of the rectangle?

___m

Answers

Answer 1
Sometimes when you're given dimensions that differ by some amount, it is easier to work with their average value. Let x represent the average of length and width of the rectangle. The length and width differ from this average value by 1.5 m. Then the area is
.. (x +1.5)*(x -1.5) = 154
.. x^2 -2.25 = 154
.. x^2 = 156.25
.. x = 12.5
The width is 1.5 m shorter than this, or 11 m.

_____
Solved in the conventional way, you are looking for factors of 154 that differ by 3. This means you have to find the factors of 154, or use the quadratic formula.
.. 154 = 1*154 = 2*77 = 7*22 = 11*14 (the pair we want)
Once you have the factorization of 154, you have the answer. No equations are necessary, really.

My jar has 25 dimes and some quarters, nickels, and pennies. The number of quarters plus dimes equals the number of pennies. I have 4 nickels for every dime and 2 pennies for every nickel. How many quarters are there? A. 175 B. 150 C. 125 D. 75

Answers

d = dimes = 25
q = quarters
p = pennies
n = nickels
1. q + n = p
2. 4n = 1 d
3. 2p = 1n

1 d = 4n
25 d = x 
x = 4 * 25 = 100 nickels

1 n = 2 p
100 n = x  p
100 n = 200 p

q + n = p
There are 100 nickels. there are 200 pennies
q + 100 = 200
q = 200 - 100
q = 100

Answer
There are 100 quarters,<<<<======


Answer:

Quarters = 175

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes in the jar = 25

number of Nickels = n

number of quarters = q

number of pennies = p

Now we will form the equation

Number of quarters plus dimes equal the number of pennies.

q + 25 = p  --------(1)

You have 4 nickles for every dime

n = 4d

n = 4 × 25 = 100

and you have 2 pennies for every nickels

p = 2n

p = 2 × 100 = 200

Now we replace p = 200 in equation (1)

q + 25 = 200

q = 200 - 25

q = 175

Option A. 175 will be the answer.

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line and passes through the point (6, 2)?

Answers

Hey there! :D

So, when you find something perpendicular, you are finding the opposite reciprocal. 

The slope is 1/2 because:

y=mx+b <== it is in this form; m is equal to slope. 

Flip the 2 and 1 and make it negative. 

2/1= -2

We already know "C" and "D" aren't the options. Now, we can just plug in the points given to see if it works. Plug in the set of points (6,2)

y=-2x+14

2=-2(6)+14

2=-12+14

2=2 <== this works. This is our answer. Let's just make sure by checking the other one. 

y=-2x-2

2=-2(6)-2

2=-12-2

2=-14 <== that is not true.

%60 of 1020 is:612
2040+612=2652
so third one is true

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

He pays $ 2652.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :   Nial is signing a lease for an apartment that rents for $1020/month.

We have to find the amount he pay to move in if he must pay the first and last months' rent and a security deposit equal to 60% of his monthly rent.

Since, given he must pay the first and last months' rent and a security deposit equal to 60% of his monthly rent.

Given monthly rent is $ 1020

That is 60% of his monthly rent = [tex]\frac{60}{100}\times 1020=612[/tex]

Thus, total amount he needs to pay is  first month rent + last month rent + 60% of his monthly rent.

That is 1020 + 1020 + 612 = 2652.

Thus, He pays $ 2652.

In a hockey club there are 5% more boys than there are girls. If there is a total of
246 members in the club, what is the number of boys and the number of girls?
HOW WOULD I WORK THIS OUT

Answers

Determine the percentage of boys and the percentage of girls in the club.
For an instance, pb stands for percentage of boys, and pg stands for percentage of girls.
pb + pg = 100%

There are 5% more boys, pb = pg + 5%
Input to the previous equation to find the percentage of the girls
pb + pg = 100%
pg + 5% + pg = 100%
2pg + 5% = 100%
2pg = 100% - 5%
2pg = 95%
--------------- divide each side by 2
pg = 47.5%

Substitute the percentage of girls to either equations to find the percentage of the boys
pb = pg + 5%
pb = 47.5% + 5%
pb = 52.5%

Find the number of the boys and the girls
The boys
b = pb × total members
b = 52.5% × 246
b = 0.525 × 246
b = 129.15
Because the number of people couldn't be a fraction, round to the nearest whole number
b = 129

The girls
g = total - b
g = 246 - 129
g = 117

There are 129 of boys, and 117 of girls

The number of boys and the number of girls are 126 and 120 respectively.

What is percentage?

A percentage is a portion of a whole expressed as a number between 0 and 100 rather than as a fraction.

Given that, there are 5% more boys than there are girls, there is a total of

246 members in the club,

We need to find the number of boys and the number of girls,

Here we will use the concept of percentage as well as equation solving,

Let the number of girls be x, so, the number of boys = 105% of x = 1.05x

According to the question,

x+1.05x = 246

2.05 x = 246

x = 120

1.05x = 126

Hence, the number of boys and the number of girls are 126 and 120 respectively.

Let l, t, b represent the numbers of lions, tigers, bears, respectively.

l +t = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . there are 3 times as many great cats as bears
l +t +b = 68 . . . . . . . . . . . there are a total of 68 animals

_____
The last 2 equations tell you
.. 4b = 68
.. b = 17
Subtracting 3 times the last equation from the first gives
.. -l = -48
There are 48 lions, 3 tigers, and 17 bears.
Let L = number of lions
Let T = number of tigers
Let B = number of bears

If one lion eats 2 meals per day, then L number of lions eat 2L meals per day.
Tigers eat 3T meals per day, and bears eat 3B meals per day.

In one day, all animals combined ate 156 meals.

That gives us our first equation.

2L + 3T + 3B = 156

The lions and tigers are considered great cats. The bears are not cats.
There are 3 times as many great cats as bears.
This gives us our second equation.

L + T = 3B

In all there are 68 animals in the zoo.
From here we get our third equation.

L + T + B = 68

Our system of equations is:

2L + 3T + 3B = 156
L + T = 3B
L + T + B = 68

Now we solve the system of equations.

Subtract the second equation from the third equation.

B = -3B + 68

4B = 68

B = 17

Substitute B = 17 into the first and second equations.

2L + 3T + 3B = 156

2L + 3T + 3(17) = 156

2L + 3T + 51 = 156

2L + 3T = 105      New Equation A

L + T = 3B

L + T = 3(17)

L + T = 51   Equation B

Equations A and B have only two variables, so we can solve them as a system of two equations in two unknowns.

2L + 3T = 105
L + T = 51

Rewrite equation A. Multiply Equation B by -2 and write underneath Equation A. Then add the equations.

       2L + 3T = 105
+    -2L - 2T = -102
-------------------------
                T = 3

Now use B = 17 and T = 3 in the original third equation to solve for L.

L + T + B = 68

L + 3 + 17 = 68

L + 20 = 68

L = 48

Answer: There are 48 lions, 3 tigers, and 17 bears

Check:
"Lions eat 2 meals per day, tigers and bears eat 3 meals each per day."
Number of meals:
2 * 48 + 3 * 3 + 3 * 17 = 96 + 9 + 51 = 156

"There are 3 times as many great cats in the zoo as bears."
48 + 3 = 51, and 51 is 3 times 17

"There are 68 animals in the zoo."
48 + 3 + 17 = 68

Describe how you would estimate the square root of a number that is not a perfect square without using a calculator. lets say n was the imperfect square number and the square root is w. the square root of n = n+w squared/ 2w.

Answers

To get the square root of imperfect square we can use the formula , which is usually accurate to about two decimal places,
√X =√S +(X-S)2√S
Where, X = the number you want the square roof of, and S is the closest square you know to x.
For example 75 is an imperfect square
Thus, X=75 and thus the nearest number S = 81, this ,means √81 =9.
Putting this into the formula;
√75= 9+(75-81)/2/2(9)
      =  9 + -6/18
