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

60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of adult tickets sold be 'a'

Let the no. of children tickets sold be 'c'

Total tickets sold = 250

Cost of 1 children ticket = $2.5

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $4

Total money collected= $910

Given that,
a + c = 250
a = 250 - c
4a + 2.5c = 910

Substitute a value
4(250 - c) + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 4c + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 1.5c = 910
-1. 5c = -90
1.5c = 90
c = 90/1.5
c = 60
a + c = 250
a + 60 = 250
a = 190

Write in point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form an equation that passes through (-1,2) with slope 4.
N76 [4]

point slope form:y-2=4(x+1)

then distribute 4 and simplify y-2=4x+4 , y=4x+6 is the slope -y intercept form

then, move 4x on the left side, you get -4x+y=6 , multiply every term by -1, you get 4x-y=-6 which is standard form.

Two 2 1/2 inch plastic strips and two 5 1/3 inch plastic strips are used to form a rectangle. What is the perimeter of the recta
svp [43]
In this question the given information's should be closely noted. The length and width of the perimeter are already given. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Length of the rectangle = 2 1/2 inch
                                       = 5/2 inch
Width of the rectangle = 5 1/3 inch
                                         = 16/3 inch
Then
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( Length + Width)
                                        = 2 [(5/2) + (16/3)]
                                         = 2 [ (45 + 32)/6]
                                         = 2 * (77/6)
                                         = 77/3 inch
                                         = 25 2/3 inch
So the perimeter of the rectangle in question is 25 2/3 inch. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
