The area of a rectangle is equal L x W

4 cm longer than it is wide L = 4 + W

L x W = 117 we replace L here

(4 + W ) x W = 117

4W + W ^2 = 117

4W + W ^2 -117 = 0
W ^2 +4 W -117 = 0

W² + 4W - 117 = 0


THEN u want to use the use the quadratic formula

OR Factoring gives us

(W + 13)(W - 9) = 0

W = -13 or 9

But it can't be negative, so

W = 9 and L= 9+4 = 13

A recipe calls for 1/4 cup of broth. The largest volume-measuring tool that Tabitha has is a teaspoon. She knows that there are

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Option b. 12 teaspoons.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it given :

1 cup = 16 tablespoons

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

16 tablespoon = 48 teaspoons or 1 cup

A recipe calls for 1/4 cup of broth. Tabitha has only a teaspoon to measure broth.

1 cup broth = 48 teaspoons

1/4 cup broth = 48 × $\frac{1}{4}$ = 12 teaspoons

Tabitha should use 12 teaspoons of broth.

What is a3 in an arithmetic sequence in which a10=41 and a15=61

USPshnik [31]

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
term&value\\
-----&-----\\
a_{10}&41\\
a_{11}&41+d\\
a_{12}&(41+d)+d\\
&41+2d\\
a_{13}&(41+2d)+d\\
&41+3d\\
a_{14}&(41+3d)+d\\
&41+4d\\
a_{15}&(41+4d)+d\\
&41+5d=61
\end{array}
\\\\\\
41+5d=61\implies 5d=20\implies d=\cfrac{20}{5}\implies \boxed{d=4}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=4\\
n=10\\
a_{10}=41
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
41=a_1+(10-1)4\implies 41=a_1+36\implies \boxed{5=a_1}$

thus

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=4\\
n=3\\
a_{1}=5
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_3=a_1+(3-1)4\implies a_3=5+(3-1)4$

and surely you know how much that is.

Answer: c. t > 82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of tickets that the committee would sell.

The dance committee of Pine Bluff Middle School earns $72 from a bake sale and will earn $4 for each ticket they sell to the Spring Fling dance. This means that the revenue that they would generate from selling x tickets is

72 + 4x

The dance will cost $400.

To make profit, revenue must be greater than cost. Therefore, the inequality to determine the number of tickets the committee could sell to have money left over after they pay for this year's dance is

72 + 4x > 400

4x > 400 - 72

4x > 428

x > 328/4

x > 82
