the Answer is irrational number
The missing reason in step 8 is the substitution property.
<h3>What is substitution property?</h3>
It should be noted that according to substitution property, if x = y, then x can be substituted for y in any equation.
When a variable is equal to another variable, then the variables can be interchangeable.
In this case, the missing reason in step 8 is the substitution property.

I’m not sure about the rest but the slope is 4 and the y intercept is 3.
The area of the side walk would be 5.5ft^2. Hope this helps
Let b= length and a=width
Area= a*b and the problem said b=2a+3 (the length is 3ft more than double the width)
Replace b into Area formula:
Area= a*(2a+3) and we know that Area=77ft from the problem, so:
77=2a^2+3a now order and equal to zero:
2a^2+3a=77 now solve this with quadratic formula and you will get so values for a: -7ft and 5.5ft as you know the dimensions could not be negative so the correct answer for "a" side is 5.5ft, for getting the b side you haeve to replace a=5.5 into b=2a+3 and you will get b=2*5.5+3= 14ft.
Finished.
