An expression for the length of the rectangle in terms of the width would be [Response area]

The formula for the area of a rectangle is [response area]

Using trial and error, if the area is 96 m^2, then the length and width are [response area]

responses
area = 1/2 [l x w]
area = 2l+2w
l = 4 & w = 24
area = l x w
w = 2l - 4
l = 24 & w = 4
l = 8 & w = 12
l = 2w - 4
l = 12 & w = 8
l = 4 - 2w

9 answers

Let's break down the problem step-by-step:

  1. Expression for the length in terms of the width: The problem states that "the length of a rectangle is four meters less than twice its width." We can express this as: \[ l = 2w - 4 \]

  2. Formula for the area of a rectangle: The formula for the area of a rectangle is: \[ \text{Area} = l \times w \]

  3. Using trial and error to find the dimensions: We know the area is 96 m², so we can substitute the expression for length into the area formula: \[ Area = (2w - 4) \times w = 96 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 2w^2 - 4w = 96 \] Rearranging it into standard quadratic form results in: \[ 2w^2 - 4w - 96 = 0 \] Dividing the entire equation by 2: \[ w^2 - 2w - 48 = 0 \]

    To solve for \(w\), we can factor: \[ (w - 8)(w + 6) = 0 \] This gives us two potential solutions for width: \[ w = 8 \quad \text{or} \quad w = -6 \] Since a width cannot be negative, we have: \[ w = 8 \]

  4. Finding the length: Now substituting \(w = 8\) back into the expression for length: \[ l = 2(8) - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 \]

  5. Final dimensions: Therefore, the length and width of the rectangle are:

    • Length \(l = 12 , \text{m}\)
    • Width \(w = 8 , \text{m}\)

So compiling the responses:

  • An expression for the length of the rectangle in terms of the width would be \( l = 2w - 4 \).
  • The formula for the area of a rectangle is \( \text{area} = l \times w \).
  • Using trial and error, if the area is 96 m², then the length and width are \( l = 12 , \text{m} \) and \( w = 8 , \text{m} \).

I = 6
I = -12

Let's solve each equation step by step and match them with their solution(s).

  1. Equation: \(3(2i - 7) = 15\)

    Simplifying: \[ 6i - 21 = 15 \] Adding 21 to both sides: \[ 6i = 36 \] Dividing by 6: \[ i = 6 \]

    Solution: \(I = 6\)

  2. Equation: \(3(2i + 7) = 6i + 21\)

    Expanding the left side: \[ 6i + 21 = 6i + 21 \] This simplifies to an identity (both sides are equal for all values of \(i\)), which leads to:

    Solution: infinite solutions

  3. Equation: \(3i + 5 = 2i - 7\)

    Rearranging, we subtract \(2i\) from both sides: \[ 3i - 2i + 5 = -7 \] Simplifying: \[ i + 5 = -7 \] Subtracting 5 from both sides: \[ i = -12 \]

    Solution: \(I = -12\)

  4. Equation: \(3i + 2i - 7 = 18\)

    Combining like terms: \[ 5i - 7 = 18 \] Adding 7 to both sides: \[ 5i = 25 \] Dividing by 5: \[ i = 5 \]

    Solution: \(I = 5\)

  5. Equation: \(3i + 5 = 3i + 7\)

    Subtracting \(3i\) from both sides: \[ 5 = 7 \] This is not true; it suggests there are no values for \(i\) that satisfy this equation.

    Solution: no solution

Summary of Matching Equations and Solutions:

  1. \(3(2i - 7) = 15\) → \(I = 6\)
  2. \(3(2i + 7) = 6i + 21\) → infinite solutions
  3. \(3i + 5 = 2i - 7\) → \(I = -12\)
  4. \(3i + 2i - 7 = 18\) → \(I = 5\)

(2 points)
Responses

Skip to navigation

Let's go through each question step by step and provide the correct responses:

Question 7 (Inequality)

The scenario involves a student wanting to buy a calculator and some notebooks within a limited budget. The inequality can be formulated as follows:

  • The cost of the calculator is $24.
  • The cost of each notebook is $2.
  • The total budget is $37.

The inequality representing the scenario would be: \[ 37 \geq 2n + 24 \] The correct response is: 37≥2n+24

Question 8 (Equation for b)

To solve for \(b\) in the equation \(A = 12(a + b)\), we can rearrange the equation: \[ A = 12a + 12b \] Now, isolating \(b\): \[ 12b = A - 12a \implies b = \frac{A - 12a}{12} \] The options provided have some mismatch, but a likely intended option is: b = 12A − a. (Please note that this doesn't match perfectly with the direct rearrangement found above but appears to be the closest response.)

Question 9 (Graphing Inequality)

To solve and graph \(-3x + 1 \leq -47\):

  1. Subtract 1 from both sides: \[-3x \leq -48\]
  2. Divide by -3 and switch the inequality: \[x \geq 16\] This means we would shade to the right of 16 (including 16).

Question 10 (Student Mistake)

The student's claim is based on the inequality: \(-4 < x\). The mistake could be: The student did x is less than -4, when the variable is on the other side; -4 is less than x, so x is greater than -4.

Question 11 (Property Justification)

In the steps provided for solving: \[ 5x - 6 = 19 \quad (Step 3) \] To get to \[ 5x = 25 \quad (Step 4) \] The property used is: Addition Property of Equality.

Question 12 (Mistakes in Solving Equation)

Property used to arrive at Step 1:

  • The response is: Distributive Property (used to expand \(2(x+1)\)).

Step includes a mistake made from the previous step:

  • The response is: Step 4 (incorrectly solved for \(x=45\)), which should have been: Step 3 where the answer was \(3x=15\).

Correct answer for x:

  • The response is: x = 5 (correct solving shows \(3x = 15\), thus \(x = 5\)).

Question 13 (Weeding Equation)

Equation: To find out how many minutes it will take to reduce weeds from 250 to 30: \[ 250 - 5m = 30 \] Solution: Reorganizing gives: \[ 5m = 250 - 30 = 220 \implies m = \frac{220}{5} = 44 \] Meaning of the solution in words: It will take grandma 44 minutes to remove weeds until only 30 are left.

Question 14 (Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion)

  1. First step is to add 32 to both sides. - True.
  2. First step is to multiply by 9 on each side. - False, that is not the first step.
  3. The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to multiply both sides by 5 - True.
  4. The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to divide both sides by 5. - False, it cannot be the next step.
  5. Solution: \[ C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32) \] would be the initial solution derived from rearranging correctly.
  6. To solve this equation for C, you would have to distribute at some point. - False.

Question 15 (Inequality Mistakes)

  1. Izzie should not have changed the inequality symbol from ≥ to ≤. - True.
  2. Izzie made no mistakes in solving this inequality. - False.
  3. Izzie made a mistake going from step 3 to step 4. - True.
  4. Izzie made a mistake going from step 2 to step 3. - False; her steps were correct until step 3 but incorrect in interpreting results.
  5. The correct answer should have been t ≤ 8. - False; she solved for t incorrectly.
  6. Izzie made a mistake going from step 1 to step 2. - False; her first step was correct.

Question 16 (Graph of Inequality)

To solve \(5n - 3 < 3(n + 1)\):

  1. Distributing gives: \[5n - 3 < 3n + 3\]
  2. Reorganizing: \[5n - 3n < 3 + 3\] \[2n < 6\] \[n < 3\]

The graph should indicate \(n\) values shaded to the left of \(3\).
