Answer:

<u>Width = 7 inches</u>

<u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

  • length = 2x + 9
  • width = x

Equating to area :

  • (2x + 9)(x) = 161
  • 2x² + 9x = 161
  • 2x² + 9x - 161 = 0
  • 2x² - 14x + 23x - 161 = 0
  • 2x(x - 7) + 23(x - 7) = 0
  • x - 7 = 0
  • x = 7

Dimensions are :

  • <u>Width = 7 inches</u>
  • Length = 2(7) + 9
  • <u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Answer:

Length: 23 inches

Width: 7 inches

Explanation:

  • Width: w
  • Length: 2w + 9
<h3>Area of rectangle: Length × Width</h3>
  • (2w + 9) × (w) = 161
  • 2w² + 9w - 161 = 0
  • 2w² + 23w - 14w -161 = 0
  • w(2w + 23) -7(2w +23) = 0
  • w = 7, -11.5

As <u>length measure cannot be negative</u>. Width is +7 inches

Length: 2w + 9 = 2(7) + 9 = 14 + 9 = 23

valkas [14]

Answer:

x=31

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=80

x+y=37

solve by elimination:( multiply second equation by 2) to eliminate x

2x+3y=80

2x+2y=74

subtract the two equations:

2x+3y-(3x+2y)=80-74

2x+3y-3x-2y=6

y=6 (3 point basket)

substitute: x+y=37, x=37-6=31

x=31 (2 point shot)
