Answer:

Length = 7 ft and width = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the area of a rectangular carpet is 28 square feet. The length is three feet more then the width.

<u>To find the length and width</u>

Let x be the width the length = x + 3

Area  of carpet = Length * Width

28 = (x + 3) * x

x² + 3x - 28 = 0

x² + 7x - 4x - 28 = 0

x(x + 7) -4(x + 7) = 0

(x + 7)(x - 4) = 0

x = -7 or x = 4

Therefore width = 4 ft then length = 4 + 3 = 7 ft

You can perform all kind of operation that are one the inverse of the other, so that the value won't change. For example, you can multiply and divide by 2:

\dfrac{1}{2}(2(x-13))

Or add and subtract 5:

\left(\dfrac{1}{2}(2(x-13))+5\right)-5

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

{(3,6),(2,1),(-8,4),(2,0)}

Step-by-step explanation:

when determining if a set of points is a function

determine if any of the x values or y values repeat. if they do then it is not a function because it will not pass the function like test. (which is where you can draw a line trough the function and it will hit more than once.

none if the x values repeat and none if the y values do either.

x values : 3,2,-8,2

y values: 6,1,4,0

6. Evaluate the expression for the value of the variable. 1/3x + 5 x = -6
taurus [48]

Answer:

\frac{1}{3} x + 5x =  - 6 \\  \frac{16}{3} x =  - 6 \\ x = \frac{ - 6}{ \frac{16}{3} }  \\ x =  \frac{ - 9}{8}
