LW=105
L+W=26
L=26-W
(26-W)W=105
26W-W^2=105
0=W^2-26W+105
-105=W^2-26W
-105+169=W^2-26W+169
64= (W-13)^2
8= -(W-13) and (W-13)
8= -W+13
5=W

8= W-13
21=W

105= 5*21

Answer: 5 feet x 21 feet

shepuryov [24]

The coordinate of point N after the dilation is N' = (-8/3, 8/3)

<h3>Dilation of coordinates</h3>

Dilation is a transformation technique for changing the size of an object using a scale factor.

Given the coordinate of N from the figure as (-4, 4). If this coordinate point is dilated by a factor of 2/3, then the resulting coordinate will be:

N' = (2/3(-4), 2/3(4))

N' = (-8/3, 8/3)

Hence the coordinate of point N after the dilation is N' = (-8/3, 8/3)

without building the graph, find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the lines given by the equation y=3x-1 and 3x+y

DaniilM [7]

<h2><u>1. Determining the value of x and y:</u></h2>

Given equation(s):

$y = 3x - 1$
$3x + y = -7$

To determine the point of intersection given by the two equations, it is required to know the x-value and the y-value of both equations. We can solve for the x and y variables through two methods.

<h3 /><h3><u>Method-1: Substitution method</u></h3>

Given value of the y-variable: 3x - 1

Substitute the given value of the y-variable into the second equation to determine the value of the x-variable.

$\implies 3x + y = -7$

$\implies3x + (3x - 1) = -7$

$\implies3x + 3x - 1 = -7$

Combine like terms as needed;

$\implies 3x + 3x - 1 = -7$

$\implies 6x - 1 = -7$

Add 1 to both sides of the equation;

$\implies 6x - 1 + 1 = -7 + 1$

$\implies 6x = -6$

Divide 6 to both sides of the equation;

$\implies \dfrac{6x}{6} = \dfrac{-6}{6}$

$\implies x = -1$

Now, substitute the value of the x-variable into the expression that is equivalent to the y-variable.

$\implies y = 3(-1) - 1$

$\implies$ $\ \ = -3 - 1$

$\implies$ $= -4$

Therefore, the value(s) of the x-variable and the y-variable are;

$\boxed{x = -1}$ $\boxed{y = -4}$

<h3 /><h3><u>Method 2: System of equations</u></h3>

Convert the equations into slope intercept form;

$\implies\left \{ {{y = 3x - 1} \atop {3x + y = -7}} \right.$

$\implies \left \{ {{y = 3x - 1} \atop {y = -3x - 7}} \right.$

Clearly, we can see that "y" is isolated in both equations. Therefore, we can subtract the second equation from the first equation.

$\implies \left \{ {{y = 3x - 1 } \atop {- (y = -3x - 7)}} \right.$

$\implies \left \{ {{y = 3x - 1} \atop {-y = 3x + 7}} \right.$

Now, we can cancel the "y-variable" as y - y is 0 and combine the equations into one equation by adding 3x to 3x and 7 to -1.

$\implies\left \{ {{y = 3x - 1} \atop {-y = 3x + 7}} \right.$

$\implies 0 = (6x) + (6)$

$\implies0 = 6x + 6$

This problem is now an algebraic problem. Isolate "x" to determine its value.

$\implies 0 - 6 = 6x + 6 - 6$

$\implies -6 = 6x$

$\implies -1 = x$

Like done in method 1, substitute the value of x into the first equation to determine the value of y.

$\implies y = 3(-1) - 1$

$\implies y = -3 - 1$

$\implies y = -4$

Therefore, the value(s) of the x-variable and the y-variable are;

$\boxed{x = -1}$ $\boxed{y = -4}$

<h2><u>2. Determining the intersection point;</u></h2>

The point on a coordinate plane is expressed as (x, y). Simply substitute the values of x and y to determine the intersection point given by the equations.

⇒ (x, y) ⇒ (-1, -4)

Therefore, the point of intersection is (-1, -4).

Which calculations could be used to solve this problem? There were 24 dogs and cats that were adopted from the animal shelter la

DENIUS [597]

Total number is 24.
Let the number of dogs be 3x and the number of cats be x.
3x + x = 24
4x = 24
x = 24/4
Number of dogs is : 24/4 × 3
Thus the answer is B.

Hope it helped!!

The coordinate of the partition c on the line segment is (1.2, -4.7)

<h3>How to determine the coordinates of the partition?</h3>

The coordinates are given as:

A = (7,-2)

B = (-8,-9)

m:n = 5:8

The coordinate of the partition is calculated using:

$(x,y) = \frac{1}{m + n} * (mx_2 + nx_1, my_2 + ny_1)$
