Answer:

The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20

The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation</u>:-

Let 'x' be the width

Given data the length of a rectangular patio is 8 feet less than twice its width

2x-8 = length

The area of rectangle = length X width

Given area of rectangle = 280 square feet

x(2x-8) = 280

2(x)(x-4) =280

x(x-4) =140

x^2 -4x -140=0

x^2-14x+10x-140=0

x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0

(x+10)(x-14) =0

x = -10 and x = 14

we can choose only x =14

The width of the rectangle 14

The length of the rectangle 2x-8 = 2(14)-8 = 28 -8 =20

The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20

The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y?
swat32

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:A proportional relationship is a relationship which crosses through the origin (0,0) and which has a proportional constant. We can determine this either by finding (0,0) where x=0 and y=0 in the table or by dividing y/x. None of the tables contain (0,0) so we will divide y by x. We are looking for a table which when each y is divided by its x we have the same constant appearing.

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.

x 2 3 4 5

y 7 9 11 13

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.

x 3 7.5 15 20

y 1 2.5 4 6

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.

x 3 6 8 10

y 12 15 18 20  HOPE IT HELPS:P

What is 7+3t over 4 = -t over 8
katrin [286]
7+3t       -t
------- = -----  is the relevant equation here.  We don't ask, "What is 7+3t over
   4          8    -t over 8," but rather "Solve the following equation for t."

Cross multiplying, 56 + 24t = -4t
 
                                       -56
Then:  28t = 56, and t = ------ = -2 (answer)
                                         28

The solution to "<span>What is 7+3t over 4 = -t over 8" is t = -2.</span>

Solve the following system:<br> y=1<br> y=-6x-5
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

x = -1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Since it gives you "y", plug in the number given into the equation:</em></u>

y = -6x - 5

1 = -6x - 5

<u><em>Then, add 5 to both sides:</em></u>

1 = -6x - 5

+5       + 5

________

6 = -6x

<em><u>Divide both sides by -6:</u></em>

6 = -6x

-1 = x

So now you have, x = -1 and y = 1
