Answer:

l = 44 ft

w = 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is

P = 2 ( l+w)

The width is

w = l -24

We know the perimeter is 128 and substituting into the equation for perimeter

128 = 2 ( l + l-24)

128 = 2 ( 2l -24)

Divide by 2

128/2 = 2/2 ( 2l-24)

64 = 2l - 24

Add 24 t o each sdie

64+24 = 2l

88 = 2l

Divide by 2

44 =l

The length is 44

Now find w

w = l - 24

w = 44-24

w = 20

Answer:

\boxed{l=44 \: \mathrm{feet},  \: \: w=20 \: \mathrm{feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The width (w) = l - 24

The length (l) = l

The perimeter (P) = 128

The shape is a rectangle. Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.

P = 2w + 2l

Plug in the values.

128 = 2(l - 24) + 2l

Solve for l.

Expand brackets.

128 = 2l - 48 + 2l

Combine like terms

128 = 4l - 48

Add 48 on both sides.

176 = 4l

Divide both sides by 4.

44 = l

Apply formula again.

P = 2l + 2w

Solve for w.

Subtract 2w and P on both sides.

-2w = 2l - P

Divide both sides by -2.

w = -l + P/2

Plug in the values for l and P, solve for w.

w = -(44) + 128/2

w = -44 + 64

w = 20

The length is 44 feet.

The width is 20 feet.

Y = 4x+1 y=x^2 + 2x - 2 A.6,2 B. 2,6 C. -6,2 D. -6,-2
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The solution is (3,13) and (-1,-3). So none of the mentioned options is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

y = 4x + 1  (i)

y = x^2 + 2x -2 (ii)

Now, by susbstituting the value of 'y' from equation i to equation ii, we get

4x+1=x^2 + 2x -2

0=x^2 + 2x -2-4x-1

0=x^2 + (2x -4x) +(-2-1)

0=x^2 + (-2x) +(-3)

0=x^2 -2x -3

x^2 -2x -3 = 0 (iii)

Now by factorization, equation iii can be written as

x^2 -3x +x -3 = 0

x(x -3) + 1(x -3) = 0

(x -3)(x +1) = 0

x = 3 and x = -1

By putting the values of x in equation i, we get

y = 4(3) + 1

y = 12 +1

y = 13

and

y = 4(-1) + 1

y = -4 +1

y = -3

Therefore, the solution is (3,13) and (-1,-3). So none of the mentioned options is correct.
