Answer:

length = 35ft, width = 20ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are working with length (L), width (W), and area (A). We are asked to find the 2 dimensions. The question tells us that L = W + 15, so we can express L in terms of W. However, we still don't know what A is. Since we have 2 unknowns, we somehow need to develop 2 equations to get a solvable system.

We can set up the first equation using the relationship between L and W:

W(W+15)=A

We can set up the second equation using the information in the second sentence:

(W-2)(W+13)=A-106

Now we can plug the first equation, already isolated for A, into the second equation and solve for W:

(W-2)(W+13)=W(W+15)-106\\W^2+11W-26=W^2+15W-106\\4W=80\\W=20

A pretty nasty-looking equation actually becomes pretty easy to solve. We know the length is 15ft greater than the width, so if W=20, L=35.

(-1,-6) and (-3,-8) y=Mx+b
denpristay [2]

Answer:

m = 1, b = -5         y = x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the slope or m

slope is change in y over change in x

-8 - (-6) = -2

-3 - (-1) = -2

-2/-2 = 1

m = 1

y = x + b

use one of the points and solve for b

A delivery company has 18 vehicles in its fleet.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: £1517.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel expenses for the vans will be calculated as:

Vans:

Since the average distance travelled per day is 198km and the average distance travelled per litre is 9km, the van would use:

= 198/9

= 22 litres

Since there are 8 vans, they'll use:

= 22 × 8 = 176 liters

Trucks:

Since the average distance travelled per day is 620km and the average distance travelled per litre is 6.2km, the truck would use:

= 620/6.2

= 100

Since there are 10 trucks, they'll use:

= 100 × 10 = 1000 liters

The amount of liters for both the van and the truck will be:

= 176 liters + 1000 liters

= 1176 liters

The fuel cost will then be:

= 1176 × 1£1.29

= £1517.04
