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

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

3x + 5(2 + x) = 4x - 7

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 5:                                                                 3x + 10 + 5x = 4x - 7
  2. [Addition] Combine like terms:                                                                        8x + 10 = 4x - 7
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4x on both sides:                      4x + 10 = -7
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 10 on both sides:                       4x = -17
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides:                                  x = -17/4

Half is a third of it.what is it?
Sati [7]
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2

Now we just have a simple equation to solve:

1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)

Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore

x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5

To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:

1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
