Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.

Which value or in the solution set of the inequality − 2/3 x + 13 ≥ − 1

Svetach [21]

Answer:

x $\leq$ 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2/3)x+13≥ -1

(-2/3)x≥ -14 (I subtracted by 13 on both sides)

x $\leq$ -14*(-3/2) (I divided by -2/3 on both sides)

x $\leq$ 21

The equation of the function g(x) is g(x) = x - 1

<h3>How to determine the equation of the function g(x)?</h3>

The given parameters are:

f(x) = x - 5

The above function f(x) is translated left by 4 units

So, we have

g(x) = f(x + 4)

This gives

f(x + 4) = x + 4- 5

Evaluate the sum

f(x + 4) = x - 1

So, we have:

g(x) = x - 1

Hence, the equation of the function g(x) is g(x) = x - 1
