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=2x/a+2b solve for a
mina [271]
Solve for a.

y=2x/a+2b

Multiply both sides by a.

ay=2ab+2x

Add -2ab to both sides.

ay+−2ab=2ab+2x+−2ab

−2ab+ay=2x

Factor out variable a.

a(−2b+y)=2x

Divide both sides by -2b+y.

a(−2b+y) / −2b+y = 2x / −2b+y

a = 2x / −2b+y

A study conducted by a major milk manufacturer showed that 83% of American teenages prefer drinking milk to drinking soda. What
SCORPION-xisa [38]
The statistic can't be true because the study was conducted by a major milk manufacturer, they wouldn't want to have a negative outlook on their product since it could lead to a potential loss of market value.
Another reason why this statistic can't be trusted is that we don't know how many or groups of teens were surveyed. They could have gone to their faithful customers for all we know, and/or it could have been more people of one gender to the other or lack of diversity overall.
They could have tried to appeal to parents and teens to drink more milk and that it's healthy to make them buy more of it, lots of companies do that.
