width = 7

length = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for the one letter that gets talked about the most

which is w or width

width = w

length = 3 + w

2 inch border means

width = w + 2

length = 3 + w + 2

area = length times width

area = ( 3 + w + 2 ) times (w + 2 )

108 = ( 3 + w + 2 ) times (w + 2 )

108 = ( w + 5 ) times (w + 2 )

( w + 5 ) times (w + 2 ) = 108

w^2 + 7w +10 = 108

w^2 + 7w - 98 = 0

going to make w = x

x^2+7x-98=0

(x-7)(x+14)

x = 7

x = -14

w=7

w= -14

cant have a negative measurement so w=7 is used

width = w

length = 3 + w

width = 7

length = 3 + 7 = 10

Find the intercepts of the line.y=−5x−17
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x - 17

in y = mx + b form, the y int is in the m position

y = mx + b

y = -5x - 17......so the y int (b) = -17 or (0,-17) <=== y intercept

u can also find the y intercept by subbing in 0 for x and solving for y

u can find the x intercept by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x

y = -5x - 17

0 = -5x - 17

5x = -17

x = -17/5......so the x intercept is -17/5 or (0,-17/5) <==== x intercept
