Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:W = L - 7

WL = 78

(L-7)L = 78

L^2 - 7L - 78 = 0

Factorize: (L-13)(L+6) = 0

L = 13 or -6

A length cannot be negative, so the length must be 13 miles.

The width is 13-7 = 6 miles.

Classify the following system of equations.

Answer:

B) consistent, dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

45x - 30y = -90

-12x + 8y = 24

Let us make y the subject in both equations to get:

Top equation

$y = \frac{3}{2}y + 3$

Bottom equation

$y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3$

We can see that both equations are identically the same.

There is going to be infinitely many solutions.

We say the system is consistent and dependent.

The correct choice is B

Since the rate of descent is a constant this is a linear equation and can be expressed as:

h=vt+b, where h=feet, v=slope or rate, b=y-intercept (y value when x=0 which is the initial height)

h=-2t+b, using the point (3,67) we can solve for b, or the initial height

67=-2(3)+b

67=-6+b

73=b so the initial height was 73 ft and the height equation is then:

h(t)=67-2t so when t=8 you have:

h(8)=67-2(8)

h(8)=67-16

h(8)=51 ft
