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

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

\frac{a^2}{b^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the exponent rule a^b*a^c=a^b+c to a

a^4*a^-^2=a^4^-^2=a^2

b^3a^2b^-^5

Apply the exponent rule to b

b^3*b^-^5=b^3^-^5=b^-^2

Apply the exponent rule a^-^b=\frac{1}{a^b}

b^-^2=\frac{1}{b^2}=\frac{1}{b^2}a^2=\frac{a^2}{b^2}

(NEED HELP ASAP!!) You are saving for a skateboard. Your aunt gives you $45 to start, and you save $3 each
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

$63

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the constant, $45. You then receive $3 each week. This can be written at $45 + $3w, where w is the number of weeks. So in this case, we need to find out how much money you will have after 6 weeks. We just need to plug in 6 weeks into the equation. The new equation will now be $45 + $3(6).

3 times 6 is $18.

$45 + $18 will give you a final answer of $63.

I really don't understand this
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the sum of all values divided by the amount of values.

We take the sum of all the numbers:

-3 + -8 + 12 + -15 + 9

-11 + 12 + -15 + 9

1 + -15 + 9

10 + -15

-5

We then divide the sum by how many number we have (we are given 5 numbers):

-5/5 = -1

Therefore, our mean is equal to -1.
