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.

What is the value of x (x+2)(x-3)=0
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = 3 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0

Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.

Split into two equations:

x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 3 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = 3 or x = -2

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: 1,259 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven: The highest elevation in a small country occurs on a mountain above sea level = 1,232 meter

The lowest elevation in the same country occurs below sea level = -27 meters

The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points = Highest - lowest

= 1232 - (-27) meters

= 1232+27 meters   [ (-)(-)=(+) ]

= 1259 meters

Hence, the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points = 1,259 meters.
