Hello,

Making an equation would be a good method to solve this problem.

The area of a rectangle is equal to l * w , where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

If the area of the wall is 280280, we know l * w = 280280
We also know that the length is 88 feet longer than twice the width. Twice the width is equal to 2w , and the length is 88 feet longer than that, so l = 2w + 88.

So, we have a system of equations:
l * w = 280280

l = 2w + 88

Using the first equation, we can find the value of l and we get l =  \frac{280280}{w}

We then plug in this value of l into the second equation, and we have:
\frac{280280}{w}  = 2w + 88

Now, we can multiply by w on both sides, and subtract 280280 on both sides, and use the quadratic formula to get w ≈ 353, -397

The width of a wall cannot be negative, so the answer is 353 feet. 

To find l, and make sure of our answers, we should check it with the original problem to make sure it checks out.

Doing this, we get:
353 * l = 280280
Divide by 353 on both sides to get:
l = 794

Now, we should check it with the equation l = 2w + 88
794 = 2(353) + 88 
794 = 794, checks out.

So, the width of the wall of the barn is 353 feet, and the length of the wall of the barn is 794 feet.

Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

-3(-x+4)=5+3(x+1) please help​
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-3(-x + 4) = 5 + 3(x + 1)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Distribute: 3x - 12 = 5 + 3x + 3
  2. Combine like terms: 3x - 12 = 3x + 8
  3. Subtract 3x on both sides: -12 ≠ 8

Here, we see that <em>x</em> has to equal no solution. No value of <em>x</em> would make the equation true.

Consider the standard form equation 2x-Ry=30. What value of R causes the graph to have a y-intercept of 5?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

R = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of the line is 2x - Ry = 30

We know that the equation of a line with a as x-intercept and b as y-intercept is \frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1

Now convert the above given line to the standard form

Divide the line by 30 we get

\frac{2x}{30}-\frac{Ry}{30} =\frac{30}{30}

\frac{x}{15} -\frac{y}{\frac{30}{R} } =1

Here the y-intercept is 30/R

Given y-intercept = 5

\frac{30}{R} =5

R = 6

Gas station X charges $4.00 per gallon of gas. Gas station Y charges $4.12 per gallon of gas. What is the percent increase from
kirill [66]
First, find the increase in charge between the two station. That is:

$4.12-$4.00=$0.12

Then, divide the increase by the price charged by Gas Station X.

$0.12/$4.00=0.03

Lastly, since it is a decimal, transform it to percentage by multiplying 100%

0.03x100%=3%

Hope this is the brainliest answer.
