Answer:

The expression representing the width is 3+2L

The width is 9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length×width

A = L × W...(1)

Let the length be represented as L

Since the width of the rectangle is 3feet longer than two times its length, this is expressed as:

First, width is twice as long as the length i.e W = 2L

If the resulting width is now 3 feet longer, the final width of the rectangle will be expressed as:

W = 3+2L...(2)

Area (A) = 27ft

Substituting equation 2 into 1, we have;

A = L(3+2L)

A = 3L+2L²

27 = 3L+2L²

2L²+3L-27 = 0

Factorizing the resulting equation

(2L²+9L)-(6L-27) = 0

L(2L+9)-3(2L+9) = 0

L-3 = 0 and 2L+9 = 0

L = 3 and L = -9/2

Disregarding the negative value and substituting L = 3 into equation 2 to get the width

W = 3+2(3)

W = 3+6

W = 9ft

A line that is perpendicular to y=-2/7x+9y and that passes through the point (4, -6)
IrinaK [193]
--------------------------------------------------
Find Slope :
--------------------------------------------------
y = -2/7x + 9
Slope = -2/7
Perpendicular slope= 7/2

--------------------------------------------------
Find y - intercept :
--------------------------------------------------
y = mx + b
y = 7/2 x + b
At (4, -6)
-6 = 7/2 (4) + b
-6 = 14 + b
b = -6 - 14
b = -20

--------------------------------------------------
Form equation :
--------------------------------------------------
y = mx + b
y = 7/2 x - 20
2y = 7x - 40

--------------------------------------------------
Answer: 2y = 7x - 40
