Answer:

Length is 14 in

Width is 8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Length = l
  • Width = w
  • Perimeter = P = 44 in
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Equations as per given:</u>

  • l - w = 6
  • P= 2(l+w) = 44 ⇒ l +w = 22

<u>Adding up the two equations:</u>

  • l - w  + l +w = 6 + 22
  • 2l = 28
  • l = 28/2
  • l = 14 in

<u>Then finding the value of w:</u>

  • w = l -6
  • w = 14 - 6
  • w = 8 in

<u>Answer:</u> The length of the rectangle is 14 inches and width is 8 inches

Find the point(s) of intersection between the quadratic function y = x + 4x + 4 and the linear function y = 2x+4.​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

(0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intersection of two lines, we want to find the value when they equal each other. To do this, we want to set the equations equal to each other.

First, let's simplify y = x + 4x + 4 by combining the x's.

y = 5x + 4

Now let's set the equations equal to each other. Since they both equal y, we can set the opposite sides equal to each other.

5x + 4 = 2x + 4

Now you want to combine the terms.

[subtract 4] 5x = 2x

[subtract 2x] 3x = 0

Now you want to isolate the x.

[divide by 3] x = 0

Now we want to find y by plugging x = 0 back into the equations.

y = 5(0) + 4

[multiply] y = 0 + 4

[add] y = 4

Check this with the other equation.

y = 2(0) + 4

[multiply] y = 0 + 4

[add] y = 4

Your answer is correct!
