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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To write Five times the sum of a number and one you first make "a number" into a variable. In this case let's call it  

n

.

Next let's create the sum of a number and one. This would be:  

n

+

1

.

Then to get five times this number we need to multiple this expression by five to get:  

5

⋅

What is the difference of the polynomials?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

8r^6s^3-5r^5s^4+r^4s^5+5r^3s^6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify;


(8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+3r^4s^5)-(2r^4s^5-5r^3s^6-4r^5s^4)


We expand the bracket to obtain;


8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+3r^4s^5-2r^4s^5+5r^3s^6+4r^5s^4


We now group the like terms to obtain;


8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+4r^5s^4+3r^4s^5-2r^4s^5+5r^3s^6


We now simplify to get;

8r^6s^3-5r^5s^4+r^4s^5+5r^3s^6


The correct answer is C
