Area of rectangular post card = length x width
For the given post card:
length = 4 in
width = (3+b) in
area = 24 in^2

So, substituting in the equation of the area:
24 = 4 x (3+b)
24 = 12 + 4b
24 - 12 = 4b
12 = 4b
b = 3 in

Therefore:
the length of the postcard = 4 inch
the width of the postcard = b+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 inch

Answer:

(a)23 (b)90 (c)3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the line of best fit for this situation is given as

$y=\frac{3}{10}x+8$

where x=average temperature in degrees

y=average number of hot dogs she sold,

(a) The expected number of hot dogs sold when the temperature is 50° would be___hot dogs.

When x=50°

$y=\frac{3}{10}X50+8=15+8=23$

When the temperature is 50°, the expected number of hot dogs sold would be 23.

(b)If the vendor sold 35 hot dogs, the temperature is expected to be ___degrees.

If y=35

$35=\frac{3}{10}x+8\\35-8=\frac{3}{10}x\\27=\frac{3}{10}x$

Multiply both sides by 10/3

$27 X \frac{10}{3}= \frac{3}{10}x X \frac{10}{3}\\x=90^{0}$

If the vendor sold 35 hot dogs, the temperature is expected to be 90 degrees.

A cake manufacturer boxes Swiss chocolate and German chocolate cakes at one site. A box of Swiss chocolate cake contains 0.55 lb

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

2,500 German chocolate cake boxes.

1,500 Swiss chocolate cake boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'S' be the number of Swiss chocolate cakes boxed and 'G' the number of German cholocate cakes boxed. If all of the available ingredients are used:

$0.55*S +0.59*G = 2,300\\0.45*S+0.41*G = 1,700$

Solving the linear system above:

$(0.55 *S +0.59*G)- \frac{0.55}{0.45} (0.45*S+0.41*G)= 2,300-\frac{0.55}{0.45}*1,700*\\0.088888*G = 222.222\\G=2,500\\S =\frac{2,300-2,500*0.59}{0.55}\\S=1500$
