The length of a rectangle is 7 inches less than twice the width, w, of the rectangle.

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle.

The length of a rectangle is 7 inches less than twice the width, w, of the rectangle. It means that the length is (2w - 7) inches

Part A

The function that gives the area as a function of the width is

A(w) = w(2w - 7)

Part B:

If the area of the rectangle is 60 square inches, it means that

w(2w - 7) = 60

2w² - 7w = 60

2w² - 7w - 60 = 0

2w² + 8w - 15w - 60 = 0

2w(w + 4) - 15(w + 4) = 0

2w - 15 = 0 or w + 4 = 0

w = 15/2 or w = - 4

Since w cannot be negative, then

w = 15/2 = 7.5 inches

8/v + 9/x=y Solve for v​
Andreas93 [3]

The answer is v= -8x/-xy+9

Here is the step by step process (This is going to be long):

1.  9v+8x=vxy

Multiply both sides by vx

2.  9v+8x+−vxy=vxy+−vxy

−vxy+9v+8x=0

Add -vxy to both sides

3.  −vxy+9v+8x+−8x=0+−8x

−vxy+9v=−8x

Add -8x to both sides

4.  v(−xy+9)=−8x

Factor out the variable v

5.  v(-xy+9)/-xy+9 = -8x/-xy+9

v = -8x/-xy+9

Divide both sides by -xy+9
