Answer:

29119.66666...+14561.3333...=43681, 209ft^2, not square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

"One side of a rectangle is 3 feet shorter than twice the other side find the sides if the area is 209 feet squared"

Ok, so this is a tricky one- 209 feet squared, not 209 square feet, therefore the area is 209^2, or 43,681.

Next, let's define our variables-

x= the "other side"

z= 3 feet shorter than twice side

We can now make these (useful) equations

z=2x-3

43681= (2x-3)+x

We will focus on the latter for now-

Simplify

43681= (2x-3)+x

43681= 2x-3+x

43681= 3x-3

43684=3x

14561.3333...=x

z=2x-3

z=2*(14561.3333)-3

z=29119.66666....

29119.66666...+14561.3333...=43681

The ratio of the number of beads Karen had to the number of beads Patricia had was 2:5 .After Patricia bought another 75 beads,t

blondinia [14]

K:P=2:5
P+75 it is 4:15
at first, P=5 units
so we have
2:5 and 4:15
since the K units didn't change we conver them to the same
2:5 times 2:2=4:10
so from 4:10 to 4:15 is a change of 75 in the right side
therefor 75=5 units so 75/5=15/1= 1 unit
so at first K=4 units=4 times 1 unit=4 times 15=60
P=10 units so 10 times 15=150

at first
Karen=60
Patricia=150

Fed [463]

Let L represent the number of cups of lemonade that Marcus sold. Then his revenue can be described by ...
0.75L + 0.35(L -5) = 7.05
1.10L -1.75 = 7.05 . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
1.10L = 8.80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add 1.75
L = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.10

Marcus sold 8 cups of lemonade on Saturday.

The profit earned by a sporting goods outlet is modeled in the graph below, where x is the number of years since the outlet open

LenaWriter [7]

The domain would be x ≥ 0.

This is because the outlet cannot have profit before it was open. Therefore, the growth must be from year 0 to present. If they give a year as starting, you can have an upper limit too, but there is not enough information here to determine that information.

Which graph represents the compound inequality? –3 < n < 1

Alinara [238K]

the graph that represents the compound inequality –3 < n < 1 is the straight line from -3 to 1 in which there is a hollow circle in the -3 point and in the 1 point. This is because < means that the possible values of n is only greater than -3 exluding -3 and less than -1 excluding -1
