Answer:

Breadth = 8 cm

Length = 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle:

Breadth = x cm

Length = x + 9 cm

Area = length * breadth

        = x * (x + 9)

       = x² + 9x

Rectangle with length and breadth increased:

Breadth = x + 3 cm

Length = x + 9 + 3 = x + 12 cm

Area = 84 + (x² + 9x) cm²

(x +3) * (x +12) = 84 + x² +  9x

Use FOIL method

x*x  + x*12 + 3*x + 3*12 = 84 + x² + 9x

      x² + 12x + 3x + 36  = 84 + x² + 9x  {add the like terms}

             x² + 15x  + 36  = 84 + x² + 9x

x² + 15x + 36 - 84 - x² - 9x = 0

      6x - 48 = 0

             6x = 48

             x = 48/6

        x = 8

Breadth = x = 8 cm

Length = x + 9 = 8 +9 = 17 cm

Corey claims that when 1/10 is multiplied by a negative number, the result will always be less than 1/10. Do you agree with Core
DerKrebs [107]
I agree because when you multiply a positive number such as 1/10 by any negative number the result will always be negative.

Can someone please help me with 21-24 and explain/ show how you got the answer?

The solution (x,y) needs to work in both equations. With multiple choice you can do guess and test method. Otherwise you need to combine the two equations into one by substitution or elimination methods.

21. substitution works well here since one equation is y= x+3. you can easily substitute the (x+3) for y in the other equation.
2x + (x+3) = -6
3x + 3 = -6
3x = -9
x = -3
use this in either equation to find y.
y = (-3)+3
solution: (-3,0)

22. these both equal y so they equal each other.
4x - 1 = 3x +6
4x - 3x = 6 + 1
x = 7
use this in either equation to find y
y = 4(7) - 1
y = 28 - 1
y = 27
solution: (7,27)

23. one equation is y = 2x - 3. So substitute (2x -3) for y in the other equation.
4x = 2(2x - 3) + 6
4x = 4x - 6 + 6
4x = 4x
x = x
any solution will work, infinitely many.

24. infinitely many solutions means the two equations are the same equation. Like the previous one they didn't look the same but if you put them both in terms of y...
y= 2x-3
4x = 2y + 6
4x - 6 = 2y
(4x - 6)/2 = y
2x - 3 = y
same equation.

from the image, I can't see all options but A & C do not look like the same equations. It's got to be either B or D.
