R * s = 273
r = s - 8.....s = r + 8

r(r + 8) = 273
r^2 + 8r = 273
r^2 + 8r - 273 = 0
(r - 13)(r + 21) = 0

r - 13 = 0
r = 13

r + 21 = 0
r = -21.....extraneous solution...not ur answer

r = 13
s = r + 8 = 13 + 8 = 21

so there are 13 rows.....each row containing 21 seats

A window in the shape of a rectangle as shown below has a width of 2X +1 and the length of X squared minus 5X -7
BARSIC [14]

Answer;

14x-12

Explanation:

Since we are not asked what to fine, we can find the perimeter of the rectangle

Perimeter = 2(L+W)

Perimeter = 2(2x+1+5x-7)

Perimeter = 2(7x - 6)

Perimeter = 14x - 12

Hence the perimeter of the rectangle is 14x-12

I need help but I need the correct answer everyone is giving me the wrong answer !!
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

y - 2 = 6 (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form equations look like this:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

***m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Using the point (1,2), we know that x1 = 1 and y1 = 2. Let's sub these values into the slope intercept equation:

y - 2 = m (x - 1)

To complete this equation, we need to find slope. Pick out another point on the graph and plug into the slope equation. We can use point (2,8), where (1,2) = Point 1 and (2,8) = Point 2.

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{8-2}{2-1} =\frac{6}{1} =6

Now that we know m = 6, let's plug that back into the original equation to get our final answer:

<u>y - 2 = 6 (x - 1)  </u>          

I hope this helps!
