Answer:

Width=13cm

Length=18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the Initial Photograph=9cm

Length of the Initial Photograph=14cm

If width and length are increased by an equal amount, say x

New Width=9+x

New Length=14+x

Area of the new photo is 108 square centimeters greater than the area of the original photo.

Area of Original Photo=14*9=126cm²

Aeea of the New Photo=126+108=234cm²

Therefore:

(9+x)(14+x)=234

126+9x+14x+x²-234=0

x²+23x-108=0

x²+27x-4x-108=0

x(x+27)-4(x+27)=0

(x+27)(x-4)=0

x+27=0 or x-4=0

x=-27 or x=4

Since x≠-27

x=4cm

The dimensions of the new photo are:

Width=9+x=9+4=13cm

Length=14+x=14+4=18cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 TRUE

A number is always 100%  Anyting bigger than 100% is going to be a bigger number

  Anything smaller than 100% is a smaller number

2FALSE   5/100 = 0.05 and NOT 0.5

0.5% is the same as thalf of 100%    = 50%

   50/100  = 5/10  = 0.5

Please give an explanation on how you got this answerI'm not sure if it's too late or what, but I can't get it.
Alona [7]
Step 1: multiple the second equation by 2 so that you get -1/4 for the coefficient of y, the same as in equation 1
equation 2 multiply by 2: 1/4 x - 1/4 y=38  ..........name this equation 3
subtract equation 1 from equation 3: (1/4 x -1/2 x)=38-10
-1/4 x = 28
x=-112
plug in x=-112 in any of the equation, you will get y=-264
so the answer is A
