On subtracting equations (i) and (ii), we get

Put
in equation (i)

Put
in equation (iii)

Multiply equation (iv) by 5 and equation (v) by 6 and then subtract both the equations.

Put

Answer:
The length of the rectangle (l) = 3 feet
The width of the rectangle (W) = 10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
<em>Given that the width of the rectangle = (x+1) feet</em>
<em>Given that the length of the rectangle = ( x-6) feet</em>
<em>The area of the rectangle = 30 square feet</em>
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>
We know that the area of the rectangle
= length ×width
30 = ( x+1)(x-6)
30 = x² - 6x + x -6
⇒ x² - 5 x - 6 = 30
⇒ x² - 5 x - 6 - 30 =0
⇒ x² - 5 x - 36 =0
x² - 9 x +4x - 36 =0
x (x-9) +4 ( x-9) =0
( x+4 ) ( x-9) =0
( x+4 ) =0 and ( x-9) =0
x =-4 and x =9
<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>
we have to choose x =9
The length of the rectangle (l) = x-6 = 9-6 =3
The width of the rectangle (W) = x+1 = 9 +1 = 10
<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>
The length of the rectangle (l) = 3 feet
The width of the rectangle (W) = 10 feet
Answer:
The y-intercept is (0,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation y = mx + b, b is the y-intercept. In your equation, the b is -6, so the y-intercept is (0,-6).
Answer:
a = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the equation of the line using the 2 points given.
Let's call -1 as x_1 and -5 as y_1
also, 4 as x_2 and 5 as y_2
The equation of line is :

<em>Let's plug the points and get the equation of the line:</em>

Now, to find a, we substitute a in x and 1 in y of the equation of the line we just got:
