A = LW
A = 72
L = W + 1

72 = W(W + 1)
72 = W^2 + W
W^2 + W - 72 = 0
(W + 9)(W - 8) = 0

W + 9 = 0
W = -9......extraneous solution...does not work here

W - 8 = 0
W = 8 <==

L = W + 1
L = 8 + 1
L = 9

so the width (W) is 8 ft and the Length is 9 ft

Veda solves the following system of linear equations by eliminations. What is the vale of x in the solution of the system of equ
kupik [55]

Answer:

x = -1, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

6 + 4x - 2y = 0 (1)

-3 - 7y = 10x (2)

From (1)

6 + 4x - 2y = 0 (1)

4x - 2y = -6 (3)

From (2)

-3 - 7y = 10x (2)

10x + 7y = -3 (4)

4x - 2y = -6 (3)

10x + 7y = -3 (4)

Using elimination method

Multiply (3) by 10 and (4) by 4 to eliminate x

40x - 20y = -60

40x + 28y = -12

28y - (-20y) = -12 - (-60)

28y + 20y = -12 + 60

48y = 48

y = 48/48

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 into (3)

4x - 2y = -6 (3)

4x - 2(1) = -6

4x - 2 = -6

4x = -6 + 2

4x = -4

x = -4/4

x = -1

x = -1, y = 1

The value of x in the equation is -1

How do I do #1 ? Help!!
juin [17]

1) First find the multiplier.

Look at the 0 and 1st term you have 5 as the 0 and 3 as the 1st term.

2)Ask how do we get from 5 to 3?

  • We subtract 2 so the multiplier is -2

3)Lets make a linear equation: y=mx +b

  • m= multiplier or slope
  • x= Just equals x value
  • b= your starting value or the 0 term which is 5

4)Use the values that you have to create your equation.

  • y=-2x +5

Note:For the x value just plug in the x value from your table.

Ex.

  • y=-2(-10)+5
  • y=20+5
  • y=25

We know that

[the area of a circle]=pi*r²
for r=4 ft
[the area of a circle]=pi*4²------> 50.24 ft²

if 2π radians ( full circle) has an area of-----------------> 50.24 ft²
5π/2 radians--------------------------------------> X ft ²
X=(5π/2)*50.24/2π-------> 62.8 ft²

the answer is
62.8 ft²
