Answer:

Length = 27 metres

Width = 9 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the width to be x.

Then the length will be 3x.

The perimeter is 66m when the width is increased by 1m and the length is decreased by 4m.

So the dimensions will become:

Length=3x-4

Width=x+1

Now solve for the variable x using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2(l+b)

66 = 2(3x-4+x+1)     (Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the parentheses)

33 = 4x-3      (Add 3 to both sides)

36 = 4x        (Divide both sides by 4)

x = 9

Now plug-in the value of x into the original dimensions which were:

Length=3x

Width=x

So the dimensions are:

Length = 27 metres

Width = 9 metres

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2x -y = 1 -------1

3x - y = -6 ------2

Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 1

-x = 1--6 = 7

x = -7

Put x= -7 in eqn 1

2*-7-y = 1

-14-y = 1

- y = 15

y = -15

2) 4x +2y = 10------1

y = 4x + 2--------2

Put eqn 2 in eqn 1

4x + 2 ( 4x+ 2) = 10

4x + 8x + 4 = 10

12x = 6

x = 6/12 = 1/2

Put x = 1/2 in eqn 2

y = 4* 1/2 + 2= 2 + 2

= 4

3) 6x - y = 2------1

y = 3x + 4---------2

Put eqn 2 in eqn 1

6x - (3x +4) = 2

6x - 3x - 4 = 2

3x = 6

x = 2

y = 3*2 + 4 = 6 + 4

= 10

What is the vertex of g(x) = 3x2 − 12x + 7?<br><br> (−6, −5) <br> (−2, −5)<br> (2, −5)<br> (6, −5)
34kurt

Answer:

(2, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to vertex form:

3x^2 - 12x + 7

= 3(x^2 - 4x) + 7

Completing the square:

= 3[ (x - 2)^2 - 4)] + 7

= 3(x - 2)^2 - 12 + 7

= 3(x - 2)^2 - 5.

Comparing with the general form

a(x - b)^2 + c  we see that the vertex is (b, c)  =   (2, -5).

Is 4y^2 + 9 = -4 a linear equation?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

  No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponent of y is 2, which is not 1, so the equation is 2nd degree, <em>not linear</em> (1st degree).
