A=lw=150\\l=w+6\\(w+6)w=150\\w^2+6w=150\\w^2+6w-150=0\\w=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-(6)+-\sqrt{(6)^2-4(1)(-150)}}{2(1)}\\w=\frac{-6+-\sqrt{36+600}}{2}\\w=\frac{-6+-\sqrt{636}}{2}\\w=\frac{-6+-2\sqrt{159}}{2}\\w=-3+-\sqrt{159}>0\\w=-3+\sqrt{159}\\\\l=(-3+\sqrt{159})+6\\l=3+\sqrt{159}

Width = -3 + sqrt(159)
Length = 3 + sqrt(159)

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!

Answer:

x=5, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

You simply write down what you see:

3x - 4y + 4x - 5y = 17

2x - 3y + 3x - 5y = 9

Then you simplify by grouping the x and the y terms:

7x - 9y = 17

5x - 8y = 9

Now you want to get equal amounts of x or y. Let's go for x. If we multiply the top eq with 5 and the bottom one with -7, we get:

35x - 45y = 85

-35x  + 56y = -63

-------------------------+ now we can add them:

11y = 22 divide by -11

y = 2

So 7x - 18 = 17, x =5

Finally, it makes sense to double check by filling in these answers in the original equations, just to see if no mistakes were made:

3*5 - 4*2 = 7

4*5 - 5*2 = 10

7+10 = 17: ok!

2*5 - 3*2 = 4

3*5 - 5*2 = 5

4+5 = 9: ok!

11. In AWTY, if mZW is five less than twice mZY and mZX is 21 more than m_Y find the measure

Answer:

  angles (W, X, Y) = (77°, 62°, 41°)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  ΔWZY

  ∠W = 2(∠Y) -5°

  ∠X = ∠Y +21°

<u>Find</u>:

  ∠X, ∠Y, ∠W

<u>Solution</u>:

Using angle measures in degrees, we have ...

  ∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180

  (∠Y +21) +∠Y + (2(∠Y) -5) = 180

  4(∠Y) +16 = 180 . . . . . simplify

  ∠Y +4 = 45 . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  ∠Y = 41 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

  ∠W = 2(41) -5 = 77

  ∠X = 41 +21 = 62

The angle measures of angles (W, X, Y) are (77°, 62°, 41°), respectively.
