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

Please help, I’m struggling
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

49.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is   A = (height) X (base) / 2

So if you plug in the numbers you get:

806.9 = (32.6) X (base) / 2

1613.8 = (32.6) X (base)

1613.8 / 32.6 = base

base =  49.5 mi

Given the function f(x)=4|x-5|+3 for what values of x is f(x)=15
Andreyy89

Answer:

  {2, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find x for ...

  15 = 4|x -5| +3

  12 = 4|x -5| . . . . subtract 3

  3 = |x -5| . . . . . . divide by 4

  ±3 = x -5 . . . . . . show the meaning of absolute value

  5 ±3 = x = {2, 8} . . . . . add 5

The values of x for which f(x) = 15 are 2 and 8.
