Answer:

-1 and -2, or 9 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the smaller integer:

x (x + 1) = 14 + 4 (x + x + 1)

x² + x = 14 + 4 (2x + 1)

x² + x = 14 + 8x + 4

x² − 7x − 18 = 0

Factor using AC method:

(x − 9) (x + 2) = 0

x = -2 or 9

x is the smaller integer, so the larger integers are -1 and 10.  Check each pair of solutions.

-1 and -2:

(-2) (-1) = 14 + 4 (-2 + -1)

2 = 14 + 4 (-3)

2 = 2

9 and 10:

(9) (10) = 14 + 4 (9 + 10)

90 = 14 + 4 (19)

90 = 90

Both solutions work.

The length of a new rectangular playing field is 3 yards longer than double the width. If the perimeter of the rectangular playi
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

121 x 59 (Dimensions)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 6 = 360

Take away 6 from both sides

6x = 354

Divide both sides by 6

x = 59

The length is 2x + 3 because it says 3 more than double the width (lenght is x). You have 2 widths and 2 lengths. The two widths are both x (2x). The two lengths are both 2x + 3 (4x + 6). 2x + 4x + 6 = 6x + 6.

Now input 59 for x

2(59) + 3 = 121

x = 59

Check Your Answer

121 is just one length and 59 is just one width, so you have to multiply both sides by 2 because you have 2 widths and 2 lengths.

121 x 2 = 242

59 x 2 = 118

242 + 118 = 360

Whats the answer plz??
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute Value is the distance from 0, so when you have -|22| that means its the absolute value of 22 then add the negative sign so that means it's further from 0 than |-22|.

I hope this will help.

The length of the rectangle is 5 inches more than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 42 inches. Write an equation to m
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<h2>Length = 13 in. </h2>

 Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2L + 2W

where;

P = 42 in.  

Length (L) = 5 + W

Find:

length (L) of the rectangle

solution:

P = 2L + 2W

42 = 2(5 + W) + 2W

42 = 10 + 2W + 2W

42 - 10 = 4W

32 = 4W

W = 32/4

W = 8

Length (L) = 5 + W

                = 5 + 8

                 = 13 in

proof:

42 = 2(13) + 2(8)

42   = 42 in
