W= l - 5    where w = width and l = length

area = 84 = l*w = l(l-5)

l(l-5) = 84
l^2 - 5l - 84 = 0
(l - 12)(l  + 7) = 0 
l = 12 

length = 12 and width =  7

defon
67.33. You would first find the total height of people. So 50 would be multiplied by 68, giving you the answer of 3,400. After, you would subtract 82 and 86, giving you 3,232. To get the final answer you would divide the value by 48, since two of them are removed, giving you 67.33.

At a basketball game, a team made 52 successful shots. They were a combination of 1- and 2-point
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

17 for 1 point shots and 35 for two point shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of 1 point shots be x

let the number of 2 point shots be y

 

x + y = 52          (1)

x + 2y = 87        (2)

 

subtracting (1) from (2)

 

y = 35

 

from (1) x = 52 - y = 52 - 35 = 17

 

Hence number of 1 pointers = 17

 

number of 2 point shots = 35

 

checking; 17 + 35 =52 ; and 17+ 2*35 = 87
