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

What is the value of X?
Deffense [45]

These angles are vertical angles meaning that they are equal to each other. Here is the equation for this problem:

x + 40 = 3x

Combine like terms

(x-x) + 40 = 3x - x

40 = 2x

Isolate x

40/2 = 2x/2

x = 20

Hope this helped!

Solve the system of equations by elimination.<br> 2x - y + 3z=-1<br> x + 2y - 4z=-1<br> y – 2z=0
MrRa [10]

Answer:

x = -1, y = 2 and z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations are :

2x - y + 3z= -1  ....(1)

x + 2y - 4z = -1  ......(2)

y – 2z = 0  .....(3)

Equation (3) can be written as :

y = 2z

Use y = 2z in equation (2)

x + 2(2z) - 4z = -1

x + 4z - 4z = -1

x = -1

Put the value of x in equation (1) :

-2 -y +3z = -1

-y+3z = 1 ....(4)

Adding equation (3) and (4)

y-2z+(-y+3z)=1

z = 1

Now put z = 1 in equation (4)

-y+3=1

-y = -2

y = 2

Hence, the values of x,y and z are -1, 2 and 1 respectively.
