Write and solve the system of linear equations described by the application and then answer the question. One hundred sixty feet

of fencing encloses a rectangular garden on three sides. One side of the garden is the side of a barn and requires no fencing. The longer side is parallel to the barn.
If the length of the longer side of the rectangle is twice the width, what are the dimensions of the garden?

Answer:

80 ft x 40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' be the length of the longer side and 'W' be the length of the shorter side (or the width).

The equations that compose the linear system are:

L+2W=160\\L=2W

Solving the system:

L+L=160\\L=80\\W=\frac{L}{2}\\W=40

The garden is a rectangle with dimensions 80 ft x 40 ft.

Given the system of equations, what is the value of the system determinant? x + y = 8 x - y = 10 0 -1 -2
kkurt [141]

Each X and Y in the equations don't have a number in front of them so they are all considered 1.

D = 1*(-1) - 1*(-1) = -1 -1 = -2

The answer is -2

Answer:

  -0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'a' value can be found by looking at the difference between the y-value of a point 1 unit from the vertex, and the y-value of the vertex.

Here, that is a negative fraction of a unit. If we assume the value is a rational number that can be accurately determined from this graph, then we can find it by looking for a point where the graph crosses a grid intersection. It looks like such grid points are (-7, 0) and (3, 0). The vertex is apparently (-2, 4), so the vertex form of the equation is ...

  y = a(x +2)^2 +4

Using the point (3, 0), we have ...

  0 = a(3 +2)^2 +4 . . . . . fill in the values of x and y

  -4 = 25a . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4; next, divide by 25

  a = -4/25 = -0.16

Find the missing length
antoniya [11.8K]
117 (if you put the answer in the green box)

9^2 = 81 , 6^2=36
81+36 = 117

Otherwise 10.82 if this is to the nearest hundredth

Celeste uses 24 inches of ribbon from a spool that holds 36 inches of ribbon. Which shows equivalent representations for the par
never [62]
Your simplified answer is indeed 2/3 (or 60%, or 0.6) because the fraction 24/36 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6, which leaves you with 2/3.
