Answer 271362 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-12-08 16:04:48 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given
V=1100 cu.in
h= 8in
b = 10in
l=?
v=l*b*h
1100 =l*8*10
1100 =80l
1100/80=l
13.75 =l
length of the box is 13.75 in

4(x+7)=-9(x-6)
4*x +4*7 =-9*x -9*(-6)
4x+28 =-9x+54
4x+9x=54-28
13x=26
13x /13 =26/13
x =2


Rectangles/350485: the perimeter of a certain soccer field is 310m. the lenght is 65 more than the width. what are the dimension?
1 solutions

Answer 250607 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-10-01 11:23:58 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let width =x
length =x+65
given perimeter =310
perimeter =2(l+w)
310=2(x+65+x)
310=2(2x+65)
310=4x+130
310-130=4x
180=4x
x=180/4
x=45
therefore;
width =45
and length =x+65
=45+65
=110

Rectangles/338048: the width of a rectangle is 3feet less than the length. the perimeter is 62feet. find the length and width of the rectangle.
1 solutions

Answer 242361 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-09-01 23:56:49 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the length of the rectangle =x
width =x-3
given ,
perimeter =62ft
2(l+w) =62ft
2(x+x-3) =62ft
2(2x-3)=62ft
4x-6 =62ft
4x=62+6 =68ft
x=68/4
x=17ft
therefore
length =17 ft
and
width =17-3
=14ft

Answer 241998 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-09-01 01:51:50 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope point form is
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
m =0, x1=4 and y1 =-2
[y-(-2)] =0[x-4]

the slope intercept form is
y=mx+b
ie,
y+2 =0
y=-2


Exponents-negative-and-fractional/337422: sara has 1.45 in nickels and dimes. there are 18 coins in all. how many of each are there? use the five step method and a table in solving this problem.
1 solutions

Answer 241997 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-09-01 01:44:25 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
nickels =N
dimes =D
total number of coins =18
N+D=18
N=18-D -----------(1)
total nickels and dime is 1.45
5N+10D = 145 --------------(2)
substitue the value of N in(2)
5(18-D)+10D= 145
5*18 -5D +10D =145
90 +5D=145
5D=145-90
5D=55
D=11
N+D=18
N+11+18
N=7
there are 7 nickels and 11 dimes
Proof:
5N+10D=145
5*7 +10*11=145
35+110=145
145=145

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/337491: (5.9x^3+3.4x^2-7)-(2.9x^3-9.6x^2+3)
1 solutions

Answer 241994 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-09-01 01:16:44 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(5.9x^3+3.4x^2-7)-(2.9x^3-9.6x^2+3)
=(45x^3 +12x^2 -7) -(18x^3-54x^2+3)
remove the paranthesis
=45x^3+12x^2 -7 -18x^3 +54x^2 -3
take the like terms together and simplify
45x^3-18x^3 +12x^2+54x^2 -7-3
=> (45-18)x^3 + (12+54)x^2 -(7+3)
=> 27x^3 + 66x^2 -10

Grade for first eaxm =65%
grade for second exam = 85%
grade for third exam =77%
overall grade =20%
grade for final exam =x
overall grade = 40%
total grade =80%

Answer 241932 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-08-31 23:12:00 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A group of dogs and ducks have a total of 99 heads and legs among them. There are twice as many ducks as there are dogs. How many are there of each animal
solution:
let Dogs =X
Duck =Y
Dogs having 4 legs and 1 head
=>4X+1X=5x
duck is having 2 legs and 1 head
=>2Y+1Y=3Y
given total legs and heads =99
5X+3Y=99--------------(1)
also given
ducks =2 dogs
Y=2x----------(2)
substitute the value of Y in (1)
5X+3Y=99
5X+3(2X)=99
5x+6x=99
11X=99
X=99/11
x=9
y = 2X
Y=2*9
Y=18
there are 9 dogs and 18 ducks

Proof:
x=9,y=18
5x+3y=99
5*9+3*18=99
45+54=99
99=99
RHS=LHS

Answer 241149 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-08-29 19:13:54 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the numbers be x and y
sum of numbers is 185
x+y =185-----------(1)
differnce is 57
x-y =57------------- (2)
(1) +(2) =
x+y=185
x-y=57
=> 2x= 242
x=242/2
x=121
x-y=57
121 -y=57
-y=57-121
-y= -64
y=64
therfore the two numbers are
121 and 64

Finance/335377: i didnt know which topic to put it under so i put it under this topic....my question is Factor 20y^3+5y^2-15y ... i dont get it AT ALL! :/
1 solutions

Answer 240385 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) About Me  on 2010-08-26 18:09:14 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
20y^3+5y^2-15y
solution :
20y^3 +5y^2-15y
here 5y is common
so the equation becomes
5y(4y^2+y-3)
now you have to factor
4y^2+y-3 =4y^2+4y-3y-3
4y(y+1)-3(y+1)
(4y-3)(y+1)
20y^3 +5y^2-15y =5y(4y-3)(y+1)
