Length of the rectangle is 14 ft and width is 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x, then length = 8 + x. Find dimensions if area = 84 ft²

⇒ Area of the rectangle = length × width

⇒ 84 = x(8 + x) = 8x + x²

⇒ x² + 8x - 84 = 0

⇒ x² + 14x - 6x - 84 = 0 (Using product sum rule to factorize)

⇒ x(x + 14) - 6(x + 14) = 0

⇒ (x + 14)(x - 6) = 0

⇒ x = -14, +6 (negative value is neglected)

∴ x = 6 and x + 8 = 14

Keith_Richards [23]

Her sister invited 22 guests. What you have to do to solve this problem is subtract 41-19. We have to do this because Rayliegh invited 19 more people than her sister, but invited a total of 41 people herself. So, to figure out how many people her sister invited we have to know that Rayliegh invited 19 more people and we have to subtract that from the total number she invited to get how many people her sister invited: 22 guests. Can you make me brainliest?

Identify the function that contains the data in the following table:Х-20o235f(x)531224O f(x) = x/ + 1O f(x) = x - 21O f(x) = lx
kirill [66]

To identify the function that contains the data in the table, we should first visualize the data.

A graph of the data is shown below:

From the plot above, we can identify that:

The graph above is a graph of f(x) = |x|, translated to the right 2 units and translated upwards 1 unit.

Hence, the function is:

f(x)\text{  = |x-2| + 1}
