From the information given,

3 pounds = $18

Therefore, 1 pound = 18/3 = $6 (this can be treated as a constant of proportionality) such that,

Cost,C = 6*Weight, W (pounds)

Equation;

C = 6W, where C = Cost in $, and W = Weight in pounds.

Width = x
Length = x+18

Assuming the table is rectangular:
Area = x(x + 18)

Therefore:
x(x + 18) <span>≤ 175
x^2 + 18x </span><span>≤ 175

Using completing the square method:
x^2 + 18x + 81 </span><span>≤ 175 + 81
(x + 9)^2 </span><span>≤ 256
|x + 9| </span><span>≤ sqrt(256)
|x + 9| </span><span>≤ +-16
-16 </span>≤ x + 9 <span>≤ 16
</span>-16 - 9 ≤ x <span>≤ 16 - 9
</span>-25 ≤ x <span>≤ 7

But x > 0 (there are no negative measurements):

Therefore, the interval 0 < x </span><span>≤ 7 represents the possible widths.</span><span>

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Commitment Adherence Percentage = 81.\overline{81}%

Step-by-step explanation:

The time period Amy scheduled herself, t = 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. from Sunday through Wednesday

The period she released her interval = 11 a. m. - 1 p.m.

Commitment Adherence Percentage = Service Minutes/(Posted Minutes + Released Lockdown Minutes) × 100

Posted minutes = 5 hours/day × 60 minutes ×  4 days = 1200 minutes

Serviced minute = 5 hours/day × 60 minutes ×  3 days + 3 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 1,080 minutes

Released minutes = 2 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 120 minutes

Commitment Adherence Percentage = (1,080/(1,200 + 120)) × 100 = 81.\overline{81}%

Which equation combines with the given equation to form a system of equations with the solution x = 3 and y = 9? x + 2y = 21
max2010maxim [7]
Yes. x=3 and y =9 are the solutions.
 Because if you change x=3 and y =9 ,you will have 
3+2* 9 =21
3+18 =21
21 =21 (true)

Twenty-one boys and eight girls go on a camping trip. In how many ways can a group of six be selected to gather firewood, given
lorasvet [3.4K]
(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964
