I found width=13.72 ft and length=43.72 ft.
Call one dimension of the rectangle x, the other will be x+30
You want an area A=600 ft^2 but A=length x width=x*(x+30)=600
Rearranging you get:
x^{2} +30x-600=0
solving this quadratic equation you get a negative solution and a positive one that gives your result.

Graph the system of equations. {x−y=64x+y=4
Fantom [35]
X-y=6 Equation 1
x+y=4 Equation 2

To graph the given system of equation, first find x and y-intercept of each equation.
x-y=6
When y=0
x=6  Point is (6,0)
When x=0
-y=6
y=-6  Point is (0,-6)

Now x-intercept and y-intercept for equation 2.
x+y=4
When x=0
y=4  Point is (0,4)
When y=0
x=4 Point is (4,0)

Now plot these points on the graph, the lines intersect each other at point (5,-1), which is the solution of the given system.

Answer: (5,-1)

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

If b is 3, x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(3x-5)=16

use distributive property

-6x+10=16

take 10 away from both sides

-6x=6

divide both sides by -6

x=-1

Jackson at the collectibles fair. He has exactly $8 and will purchase a collectible from a vendor for $5. What percent of his mo
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money with Jackson = $8

Money spent for buying collectible  = $5

__________________________________________________

Percentage of any number A with respect to another number B is calculated by multiplying fraction A/B with 100

Numerically A as percentage of b will be expressed as (A/B)100 %

It means that if there are 100 items instead of B item then what will be the value of A.

______________________________________________________

Percentage of money spent = (Money spent for buying collectible /Total money with Jackson)

Substituting the total money and money spent for buying collectible

we have

Percentage of money spent  = 5/8 * 100 = 0.625*100 = 62.5%

Thus, 62.5% percent of his money will Jackson spend on the purchase of collectible.

The equation of line v is y=9x+1. Line w is perpendicular to line v and passes through (3, – 2). What is the equation of line w?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the general form of a linear equartion: y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

The equation of line v (y=9x+1) has a slope of 9. A perpendicular line with have a slope equal to the negative inverse of the reference line. So the line we want will have a slope of -(1/9). That gives us y = -(1/9)x + b. Any vale of b will produce a line that is perpendicular. But we want a line that goes through point (3,-2). All we need to do is find a value for b that will make that wish come true.

Use the point (3,-2) in y = -(1/9)x + b and solve for b:

y = -(1/9)x + b

-2 = -(1/9)*(3) + b

-2 = -(1/3) + b

b = - 1 2/3, or -(5/3)

The equation is y = -(1/9)x + - (5/3)
