This is a system of equations, meaning you find the value of one variable and substitute it into the other equation
if y=-x^2-4x+23 we can put that into the second equation for y
This gives us 2x+(-x^2-4x+23)=15
Lets simplify this and set it equal to 0 by moving the 15 over
-x^2-2x+8=0
This gets us x=-4, 2
Lets try plugging both those back into our first equation and see what value of y we get
y=-(-4^2)-4(-4)+23; y=23
y=-(2^2)-4(2)+23; y=11
So you get two sets of solutions
(-4,23) and (2,11)
The answer should be 43
51 x 3 = 153
153-60-50=43
Answer: 5/8 of the project is done
Answer:
1. 6 faces 11 verticles and 8 edges 2. 5 faces 12 verticles and 6 edges
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the rectangle can be a length of 2ft and a width of 4ft.
<h3>
How to find the dimensions of the garden?</h3>
Remember that for a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:
P = 2*(L + W)
And the area is:
A = L*W
In this case, we know that the area is 8 square feet and the perimeter is 12 ft, then we have a system of equations:
12ft = 2*(L + W)
8ft² = L*W
To solve this, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, I will isolate L on the first one:
12ft/2 = L + W
6ft - W = L
Now we can replace that in the other equation to get:
8ft² = (6ft - W)*W
This is a quadratic equation:
-W^2 + 6ft*W - 8ft² = 0
The solutions are given by Bhaskara's formula:

Then we have two solutions:
W = (-6 - 2)/-2 = 4ft
W = (-6 + 2)/-2 = 2ft
If we take any of these solutions, the length will be equal to the other solution.
So the dimensions of the rectangle can be a length of 2ft and a width of 4ft.
