Answer:

The answer is

<h2> 19 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

let w be the width and l be the length

Area of rectangle = 247 ft²

width is 6 feet less than its length is

w = l - 6

247 = l( 1 - 6)

l² - 6l - 247 = 0

(l + 13) (l - 19) = 0

l + 13 = 0 l - 19 = 0

l = - 13 l = 19

Since the length should be positive

The length of the rectangle is

<h3> 19 feet</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

Length of the rectangle, L = 19 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Area of the rectangle, A = 247 ft²

Let the length of the rectangle be L

The width of the rectangle = W

Since the width of the rectangle is 6 ft less that the length;

W = L - 6

A = L * W

247 = L * (L - 6)

247 = L² - 6L

L² - 6L - 247 = 0

By solving the quadratic equation above:

(L - 19)(L + 13) = 0

L - 19 = 0, L = 19

L + 13 = 0; L = -13

Since the length of a rectangle cannot be negative, L = 19 ft

6. Complete the two-column proof.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Given: \frac{x}{6} + 2 = 15                             ......[1]

To prove : x =78

Subtraction property states that you subtract the same number to both sides of an equation.

Subtract 2 from both sides of an equation [1];

\frac{x}{6} + 2 - 2= 15 -2

Simplify:

\frac{x}{6} = 13                                             ......[2]

Multiplication property states that you multiply the same number to both sides of an equation.

Multiply 6 to both sides of an equation [2];

\frac{x}{6} \times 6 = 13 \times 6

Simplify:

x = 78                      proved!

Statement                                           Reason

1.  \frac{x}{6} + 2 = 15                 Given

2.  \frac{x}{6} = 13                 Subtraction property of equality

3. x = 78                              Multiplication property of equality

I need to know how to do Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination
vredina [299]
The point of elimination is to have one variable so example

3x + 2y = 4

7X + 3y = 5


1) Try to find a way to have one variable

7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28

-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15


2) add

0 + 5y = 13

3) solve for the last variable

5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8

4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one

3x + 2(2.8) = 4

3x + 5.6 = 4

3x = -1.6

x = 0.533333333 (continue)

The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)

Hope you understand!!

If a data set has ssr = 400 and sse = 100, then the coefficient of determination is
BARSIC [14]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have that the <span>data set has SSR=400 and SSE=100

 2. Therefore you have </span><span>the coefficient of determination is:

 r</span>²=SSR/SSTO

 SSTO=SSR+SSE

 3. Then, when you substitute the values, you obtain:

 SSTO=400+100
 SSTO=500

 r²=400/500

 4. So, you have that the result is:

 r²=0.8

 Therefore, as you can see,  the answer for the exercise shown above is: <span> the coefficient of determination is 0.8</span>
