Answer:

13 in

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width then length is w + 6

the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width , then

A = w(w + 6) = 91 , that is

w² + 6w = 91 ( subtract 91 from both sides )

w² + 6w - 91 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form

(w + 13)(w - 7) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w + 13 = 0 ⇒ w = - 13

w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 7

however, w > 0 then w = 7

and length = w + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13 in

Which of the following is an equation of a line parallel to the equation y=4x+1?
Reil [10]

Answer:

y = 4x + b, where b is any number

Step-by-step explanation:

Adrian, you need to share the possible answer choices.

Every line parallel to y = 4x + 1 has the slope 4.

This is true for any y-intercept, that is, for any b in y = mx + b.

A rectangle has perimeter, P, length, land width, w. Which of the following represents lin
almond37 [142]

Answer:

l=\frac{P}{2}-w.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of it's side lengths.

A rectangle has 4 sides where it's opposite sides are congruent.

So if one side has measurement w, then there is another side that has measurement w.

If there is one side that has measurement l, then there is another side that has measurement l.

So if you add w+w+l+l you get 2w+2l.

They are giving us that the perimeter is P, so P=2w+2l.

we are being asking to solve for l.

P=2w+2l

First step: Isolate term that contains the l, so get 2l by itself first.

We are going to subtract 2w on both sides giving us:

P-2w=2l

2l=P-2w

Now that we have 2l by itself it is time to perform the last step in getting l by itself.

Second step: Divide both sides by 2.

This gives us:

l=(P-2w)/2

You may separate the fraction like so:

l=\frac{P-2w}{2}=\frac{P}{2}-\frac{2w}{2}=\frac{P}{2}-w.

I don't know your options but I have solve for l in terms of P and w

and got l=\frac{P}{2}-w.

Please let me know if you have further questions with this problem.
