The length of the rectangle is 4cm less than its width . what are the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 140

1 answer:

8 0

Let the width of the rectangle be x
Then length =x-4
Area=x(x-4)=140
x²-4x=140
x²-4x-140=0
x²-14x+10x-140=0
x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0
(x-14)(x+10)=0
Therefore,length=14 cm and width=10 cm

For the following system, if you isolated x in the first equation to use the substitution method, what expression would you subs

alekssr [168]

Answer:

$x=2y+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the system:

$-x+2y=-6\\3x+y=8$

If we isolate the x-variable in the first equation:

$-x+2y=-6$

Subtract 2y from both sides:

$-x=-6-2y$

Divide both sides by -1:

$x=2y+6$

Therefore, we would substitute the above into the second equation:

$3x+y=8\\3(2y+6)+y=8$

The answer is 2y+6

Further notes:

To solve for the system, distribute:

$6y+18+y=8$

Simplify:

$7y+18=8$

Subtract:

$7y=-10$

Divide:

$y=-10/7\approx-1.4286$

Now, substitute this value back into the isolated equation:

$x=2(-10/7)+6\\x=-20/7+42/7\\x=22/7\approx3.1429$
