Answer:

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

let the

length = L

Width = W

Area = LW = 55

The length is nine feet less than four times the width

L = 4W - 9

W (4W - 9) = 55

4W^2 - 9W -55 = 0

4W^2 - 20W + 11W - 55 = 0

4W(W - 5) + 11(W - 5) = 0

(W - 5)(4W + 11) = 0

W - 5 = 0 , 4W + 11=0

W = 5 or  - 11/4

since the width cannot be negative, W = 5

LW = 55

L = 55/5

L = 11

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively.

X + 5y = 28<br> - x - 2y = -13
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

x=3

y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5y=28 (i)

-x-2y=-13. (ii)

add equation 2 from equation 1

x+5y=28

-x-2y=-13

3y=15

y=5

put the value of y in equation 1

x+5y=28

x+5*5=28

x+25=28

x=28-25

x=3
