Answer:

y = 2x - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two equations aren't true because in the problem, it says that each hot dog costs $2.

Also it says x represents the amount of hot dogs sold. So 2 would be multiplied by x not 48.

The last equation isn't correct because, in the beginning of the problem it says the owner has to pay $48 each morning for supplies. So the owner loses $48 dollars, he does earn $48 like it shows in the last equation.

The only equation that makes sense and is correct, would be the third equation, which is y = 2x - 48

Answer:

Its the third one because, he gets $2 for each hot dog but we dont know ow many hot dogs are sold everyday. We also know that at the end of the day $48 is taken out for supplies to make the hot dogs.

Hope this helped! :3

Answer:

7 is (14x)°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram, the measure of angle 2 is 126°, the measure of angle 4 is (7x)°, and the measure of angle 5 is (4x + 4)°. A transversal intersects 2 lines to form 8 angles. Clockwise from the top left, the angles are 1, 2, 3, 4; 5, 6, 7, 8. What is the measure of angle 7, to the nearest degree? The nearest degree measure of angle 7 is (14x)°

A rectangular piece of plywood has a diagonal which measures two feet more than the width. The length of the plywood is twice th

icang [17]

Answer:

The length of the plywood's diagonal(to the nearest tenth) is, 3.6 and 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

let l be the length and w be the width of the rectangle respectively;

Diagonal(D) of a rectangle is given by:

$D = \sqrt{l^2+w^2}$ ......[1]

As per the given statement we have;

Diagonal(D) = width + 2

and

$l = 2 \times w$ = 2w

Now, substitute these in [1] we have;

$\sqrt{(2w)^2+w^2} = w+5$

Squaring both the sides we get;

$4w^2+w^2 = (w+2)^2$

$5w^2 = w^2 + 4 + 4w$

$5w^2 -w^2 = 4w + 4$ or

$4w^2= 4w + 4$

Simplify:

$w^2-w-1 =0$ ......[2]

The quadratic equation is in the form of $ax^2+bx+c = 0$

the solution is given by: $x = \frac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

On comparing with [1] we get

a= 1 , b = -1 and c = -1

Then the solution is:

$w= \frac{-(-1) \pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}$

$w =\frac{1 \pm\sqrt{1+4}}{2} = \frac{1 \pm\sqrt{5}}{2}$

Simplify:

$w \approx 1.62$ and $w \approx -0.62$

Then, the diagonal D = w+2

For $w \approx 1.62$

$D = 1.62 +2 \approx 3.62$

For $w \approx -0.62$

$D =-0.62 +2 \approx 1.38$

therefore, the length of the plywood's diagonal(to the nearest tenth) is, 3.6 and 1.4

Complete the sentence. the roots of the equation x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0 are -4 and *blank*

prisoha [69]

Answer:

12 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to get the roots of the equation is to factorize the equation but when the factors are not possible then we should apply the quadratic equations formula to get the value of x.

Now we will try to factorize

x² - 8x -48 = 0

Now we multiply coefficient of highest degree term and constant term

48×1 = 48 which may be factored in 12×4. 8×6, 24×2.

Now we will choose 12×4 out of three because the 12-4 = 8 which is the coefficient of x.

Now its simple.

x²-12x + 4x -48 = 0

x(x -12) + 4(x-12) = 0

(x +4)(x-12) = 0

Therefore roots are x + 4 = 0

x = -4

and x - 12 = 0

x = 12

So the answer is 12.
