<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this can be shown using an equation:

2x- 12 = equation for width

x = equation for length

The area for a rectangle is width x length so:

(2x - 12) * x = 270

2x^2 - 12x = 270

Make the equation a quadratic:

2x² - 12x - 270 = 0

(÷2) = x² - 6x - 135

Now you need to find what values multiply to -135 and add to -6, in this case it is +9 and -15

(x + 9)(x - 15)

So x = -9 and x = 15

<h3>The length has to be 15 because the length cannot be a negative, so the length of the rectangle is 15m!</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 9696 meters. The length is 6 meters longer than twice the width. Find the dimensions of
nalin [4]

length = 3234 m and width = 1614 m

let the width = w then length = 2w + 6

Perimeter = 2 ( length + width )

               = 2 (2w + 6 + w ) = 2 ( 3w + 6 ) = 6w + 12

given perimeter = 9696 the equating gives

6w + 12 = 9696

subtract 12 from both sides

6w = 9696 - 12 = 9684

divide both sides by 6

w = \frac{9684}{6} = 1614

width = 1614 m and length = (2 × 1614 ) + 6 = 3234 m

How do break down the problem 64% of 340
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 217.6

Step-by-step explanation:

64% is a fraction of 100, so it would be 64/100.

Multiply that by 340.

340 * \frac{64}{100} = 217.6

You can also do 340 * 0.64 for the same result.

Which of the following represents a function?
Iteru [2.4K]

Functions cannot have different values of y for the same value of x. Now let us check each case one at a time.

<u>First Case:</u> For the same value of x=-1, y has two different values of 7 and 1, which is not allowed in a function. Therefore, the first case is not a function.

<u>Second Case:</u> For the same value of x=-1, y has two different values of -5 and 1, which is not allowed in a function. Therefore, the second case is not a function.

<u>Third Case:</u> For the same value of x=3, y has two different values of 2 and 4, which is not allowed in a function. Therefore, third case is not a function.

<u>Fourth Case:</u> In this case no value of x is same. So, this is a function.
