Answer 1

Answer:

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

longest section 1 = a

mid length section 2 = b

shortest section 3 = x

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

5x + 5 = 40

5x = 35

x = 7

b = 12

a = 21

Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 2x²+ax+bx+5. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

a+b=7

ab=2×5=10

Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 10.

1,10

2,5

Calculate the sum for each pair.

1+10=11

2+5=7

The solution is the pair that gives sum 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is A=1/2(b)(h)

B=base

H=height

Your height is found in the line in the middle of the triangle, for you it is 6.

The base is the long bottom line on the triangle (lineJL), for you it is 8.

So let's put it in.

A=1/2(8)(6)

A=24sq units (C)

(5 pts) It takes Jack 3 hours longer to write holiday cards than it takes Jill. Together, they can write them
in 2 hours. How long does it take each person to write the cards working alone?​

Answers

Answer:

Jack needs 6 hours and Jill needs 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

X  = rate at which Jack can write a holiday card.

Y = rate at which Jill can write a holiday card.

Each of them will need a given time to write a card, such that:

X*T = 1 card

We know that Jack needs 3 more hours to write a card than Jill, then Jill needs 3 hours less than Jack, so if Jack needs T hours, Jill will need T - 3 hours

Then we have the equation:

Y*(T - 3 hr) = 1 card

And we also know that when they work together, they need 2 hours, then:

(X + Y)*2 hr = 1 card.

So we have 3 equations:

X*T = 1 card

Y*(T - 3 hr) = 1 card

(X + Y)*2 hr = 1 card.

Now let's ignore the card part just for the equations, then we get:

X*T = 1

Y*(T - 3 hr) = 1

(X + Y)*2 hr = 1

To solve it, we first need to isolate one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate T in the first equation, we get:

T = 1/X

Now we can replace this in the second equation to get:

Y*((1/X) - 3hr) = 1

So now we have two equations:

(X + Y)*2 hr = 1

Y*((1/X) - 3hr) = 1

We need to do the same, isolate one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate Y in the above one:

Y*2hr = 1 - X*2hr

Y = (1 - X*2hr)/2hr

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

((1 - X)/2hr)*((1/X) - 3hr) = 1

Now we can solve this for X:

((1 - X)/2hr)*((1/X) - 3hr) = 1

(1 - X)*((1/X) - 3hr) = 2 hr

1/X - 3hr - X*2hr/X + X*2hr*3hr = 2hr

1/X - 3hr - 2hr + X*6hr^2 = 2hr

1/X + X*6hr^2 = 2hr + 3 hr + 2 hr = 7hr

1/X + X*6hr^2 = 7hr

Now we can multiply all by X to get:

X/X + X*(X*6hr^2) = 7hr*X

Now we have the quadratic equation:

(6hr^2)*X^2 - (7hr)*X + 1 = 0

We can find the solutions of this equation if we use the Bhaskara's formula, the solutions are:

[tex]X = \frac{-(-7hr) +- \sqrt{(-7hr)^2 - 4*(6hr^2)*1} }{2*6hr^2} = \frac{7hr +- 5hr}{12 hr^2}[/tex]

Then we have two solutions:

X = (7hr + 5hr)/12hr = 1 hr^-1

And this is the rate at which Jack writes a card, so the actual units are:

X =  0.167 card/hr

Then Jill's rate will be:

Y = (1 - X*2hr)/2hr = (1 - 1card/hr*2hr)/2hr = -0.5 card/hr

So we have a negative rate, this makes no sense, so we can discard this option. The other solution for X is:

X = (7hr - 5hr)/12hr = 0.166... hr^-1

And this is the rate at which Jack writes a card, so the actual units are:

X =  0.166... card/hr

If we have this, then the rate for Jill will be:

Y = Y = (1 - X*2hr)/2hr = (1 - 0.167card/hr*2hr)/2hr = 0.333 card/hr

Then we have:

X = 0.167 card/hr

If we use the first equation, we get:

(0.166... card/hr)*T = 1 card

T = 1 card/((0.166... card/hr)) =  6 hours

Then Jack needs 6 hours to write a card.

And we know that Jill needs 3 hours less than that, then Jill needs 3 hours.

The paved area is a square with sides 2 m long.
The paving stones for this area are squares that measure 50 cm by 50 cm
How many paving stones are needed?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 meters = 200 cm

200 cm × (1 block)/(50 cm) = 4 blocks

4 blocks by 4 blocks = 16 blocks

Answer:

16 paving stones

Step-by-step explanation:

1 m = 100 cm

The square has sides 200 cm long

Its area is 200(200) = 40000 sq cm

Each paving stone has an area of 50(50) = 2500 sq cm

So 40000/2500 = 16 paving stones
