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

Here you have two unknowns, so you would need two equations (system of equations). By using w to represent walnuts and c to represent chocolate chips your equations would be 5w + 2c = 10 and 3w + 8c = 23, the coefficients being the amount of pounds of walnuts and chocolate chips and the right hand side of the equations being the total price. From there you can either solve for one variable in terms of the other and plug in to the other equation, or you could subtract one equation from the other ( I personally prefer solving for one variable in terms of the other and then plugging in to the other equation).

Determine if line AB and line CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
choli [55]

Answer:

AB and CD are parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

• The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals

Calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

let (x₁, y₁ ) = A(1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(3, 8)

m = \frac{8-4}{3-1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

let (x₁, y₁ ) = C(- 1, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(3, 14)

m = \frac{14-6}{3+1} = \frac{8}{4} = 2

Since slope of AB and CD are equal then lines are parallel
