W= width= L+5
L= length
Area= 204

Area= LW
204 square yards= LW
substitute w=L+5 for w
204= (L)(L+5)
204= L^2 + 5L
subtract 204 from both sides
0= L^2 + 5L - 204
factor
0= (L+17)(L-12)

0= L+17
-17= L

0= L-12
12 yards= L


WIDTH
Since the area cannot be a negative number, we'll use L=12 to find the width.

w=L+5
w=12+5
w=17 yards


CHECK:
204=(12)(17)
204=204


ANSWER: The length is 12 yards and the width is 17 yards.

Hope this helps! :)

Y = -4x + 2
3x + 2y = 6 (or in y-intercept form y=-3/2x + 3)

2x - y = 7 equals y = 2x -7 in y-intercept form. This means that the line has a positive slope and therefore goes upwards. This cannot be a potential equation because the line shown is clearly pointing downwards.

y=5 indicates that the line is a horizontal line that neither points upwards or downwards. This cannot be a potential equation because the line is pointing downwards. 

The only possible equations left are y= -4x + 2 and 3x + 2y = 6, both of which graph a line pointing downwards because their slopes are negative. Hope this helps!

Which linear inequality is shown on the graph?
AlekseyPX
Answer: choice C) x-y <= 2

======================================

Explanation:

The two points (0,-2) and (2,0) are on the boundary line. The boundary line equation is y = x-2. We find this equation through the use of the slope formula to find that m = 1. The y intercept is -2 so b = -2. Therefore, y = mx+b turns into y = 1x+(-2) which simplifies to y = x-2

The equation y = x-2 can be arranged to get x-y = 2 (subtract y from both sides; add 2 to both sides)

So the answer is either x-y <= 2 OR it is x-y >= 2

The question is: which inequality has the test point (0,0) in it? We pick on the origin since 0 is the easiest number to work with.

Plug (x,y) = (0,0) into the equation for choice C
x-y <= 2
0-0 <= 2
0 <= 2
which is true. So choice C is the answer.

Choice D can be ruled out since...
x-y >= 2
0-0 >= 2
0 >= 2
which is false: 0 is not larger or equal to 2
