The dimensions are 60 yards by 100 yards
Proof:
Let the wdth be x and the length be x+40
x(x+40)=6000
x²+40x=6000
x²+40x-6000=0
use the quadratic formula
x= -40+ or - √40²-4*1*-6000
x= 60, -100
but distance but be positive so the dimensions are 60 yards by 100 yards

What is the x-value of the solution to the system of equations?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations is:

$x=4,\:y=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

$5x + 4y =8$

$2x- 3y = 17$

solving the system of equations

$\begin{bmatrix}5x+4y=8\\ 2x-3y=17\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}5x+4y=8\mathrm{\:by\:}2\:\mathrm{:}\:\quad \:10x+8y=16$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}2x-3y=17\mathrm{\:by\:}5\:\mathrm{:}\:\quad \:10x-15y=85$

$\begin{bmatrix}10x+8y=16\\ 10x-15y=85\end{bmatrix}$

$10x-15y=85$

$-$

$\underline{10x+8y=16}$

$-23y=69$

$\begin{bmatrix}10x+8y=16\\ -23y=69\end{bmatrix}$

solve for y

$-23y=69$

Divide both sides by -23

$\frac{-23y}{-23}=\frac{69}{-23}$

$y=-3$

$\mathrm{For\:}10x+8y=16\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}y=-3$

$10x+8\left(-3\right)=16$

$10x-24=16$

$10x=40$

Divide both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{40}{10}$

$x=4$

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

$x=4,\:y=-3$

Doss [256]

If a transformation maps $a \mapsto b$ , then $b$ is the image of $a$ , and $a$ is the preimage of $b$ . So,

the image of $a$ is $b$
the preimage of $b$ is $a$
the image of $c$ is $d$
the preimage of $d$ is $c$
