Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + 3y = 23
y = -7x - 9 // *-3
-4x + 3y = 23
-3y = 21x -27
+++++++++++++++++++
-4x = 21x + 50
-50 = 25x
x = -2
Represent the length and width by L and W. Then L = W + 4.
Using the perimeter formula: P = 2L + 2W = 68 ft = 2W) + 2(W+4).
Solve for W: 68 = 2W + 2W + 8, or 4W = 60. Thus, W = 15 and L = 19.
The dimensions of the rectangle are 15 by 19 feet.
Answer:
86.5 ns
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed in the original direction (horizontally) is unchanged by the vertical force the field exerts. The travel time is ...
time = distance/speed = (4.5×10^-2 m)/(5.20×10^5 m/s) = 8.65×10^-8 s
_____
An engineer would express this time using the SI prefix nano- for 10^-9. The time is 86.5 ns.
