Answer:

Length = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the recatngle is:

- width → x

and

- length → x+7

The area of a rectangle follows the formula: length*width

Meaning: x * (x + 7) = 60

Expand that: x^2 + 7x = 60

Rearragne the equation and factorise it

(x-5)(x+12) = 0

The width cannot be a negative value, so the answer must be 5.

Remember that x was the width and the length is the width add the 7.

So the length is 12 cm.

Determine if (-2,6) and (4,12) are solutions to the system of equations:

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Both $(-2,6)$ and $(4,12)$ are solutions to the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine whether the two given points represent solutions to our system of equations, we must "plug" thos points into both equations and check that the equality remains valid.

Step 1: Plug $(-2,6)$ into $y=x+8$

$(6) = (-2)+8 = 6$

The solution verifies the equation.

Step 2: Plug $(-2,6)$ into $2y=x^2 + 8$

$2(6) = (-2)^2+8=4+8=12$

The solution verifies both equations. Therefore, $(-2,6)$ is a solution to this system.

Now we must check if the second point is also valid.

Step 3: Plug $(4,12)$ into $y=x+8$

$(12) = (4)+8 = 12$

Step 4: Plug $(4,12)$ into $2y=x^2 + 8$

$2(12) = (4)^2+8=16+8=24$

The solution verifies both equations. Therefore, $(4,12)$ is another solution to this system.
