Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is 171 m²

Let l is the length and b is the width of the rectangle

It width is 10 m less than the length. So,

b = l-10 ...(1)

Area of a rectangle is given by :

A=l\times b\\\\171=l(l-10)\\\\l^2-10l=171\\\\l^2-10l-171=0\\\\l^2-19l+9l-171=0\\\\\text{taking common together}\\\\l(l-19)+9(l-19)=0\\\\(l-9)(l-19)=0

or

l = 9 m or l = 19 m

If l = 9 m,

b = 9-10 = -1 m (can't be possible)

If l = 19 m

b = 19-10 = 9 m

So, the length an the breadth of the rectangle is 19 m and 9 m respectively.

7x-2=5x+14<br> X=?<br> (step by step needed)
prisoha [69]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

  • 7x-2-5x=5x+14-5x
  • 2x-2=14  

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

  • 2x-2+2=14+2
  • 2x=16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

  • 2x/2=16/2
  • x=8

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

  • 7(8)-2=5(8)+14
  • 56-2=40+14
  • 54=54

Therefore, x = 8.

together,sarah's two cats have the same mass as her dog,11 kg.the mass of one cat is 1500 g greater than the mass of the other.
Alika [10]
Let (a) be the first cat
let (b) be the second cat
a +b=11kg-----(1)
a=b+1500g⇒(1.5 kg)-------(2)
so now u have a system of two unknowns
a=11-b
substitute a in (2)
11-b=b+1.5
11-1.5=2b
2b=9.5
b=9.5/2=4.75
subs. b in (1)
a+b=11
a+4.75=11
a=11-4.75=6.25
so cat (a) is 6.25 kg
and (b) is 4.75 kg
hope I helped
