The answer is C because 15 * 17 is 255 and its two yards arpart

Let w=width
then w-2=length
Area = w(w-2)=255
Solve for w
w^2-2w-255=0
(w-17)(w+15)=0
w=15 or w=17
Since w>length, reject w=15.
So width 17, length=15

Note: Double check if question actually says width is two yards longer than the length.

17. Solve the following:<br> x – 3y = 5<br> 5x – 2y = -1
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

(- 1, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - 3y = 5 → (1)

5x - 2y = - 1 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides

x = 5 + 3y → (3)

Substitute x = 5 + 3y in (2)

5(5 + 3y) - 2y = - 1 ← distribute left side

25 + 15y - 2y = - 1

25 + 13y = - 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 5 + (3 × - 2) = 5 - 6 = - 1

Solution is (- 1, - 2 )

Solve the system using the substituion method<br> -4x+y=8<br> x-3y=9
lions [1.4K]
Hi there!

x - 3y = 9
x = 9 + 3y
 
-4x + y = 8
-4(9+3y) + y = 8
-36 - 12y + y = 8
-36 - 11y = 8
-11y = 44
-y = 4
y = -4

x - 3y = 9
x - 3(-4) = 9
x + 12 = 9
x = 21

So, your answers are y = -4 and x = 21.

Hope this helps!
