Answer:

The answer to your question is length = 19 and width = 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Perimeter = 62 ft

Width = length - 7

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

    Perimeter = P = 2w + 2l

                         w = l - 7

2.- Substitution

                       62 = 2w + 2l           Equation l

                         w = l - 7                 Equation ll

Solve the system of equations by substitution

- Substitute equation ll in equation l

                      62 = 2(l - 7) + 2l

-Simplification

                      62 = 2l - 14 + 2l

                      62 + 14 = 4l

                              76 = 4l

                                 l = 76/4

                                 l = 19 ft

-Find w

                       w = 19 - 7

                       w = 12 ft

X— 3y+z= 6<br>2x — бу – 2 = -2<br>—x+y+ 2 = 7​
dlinn [17]

Answer:

x = -7 1/2

y = - 5/2

z = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

x— 3y+z= 6  (1)

2x — бу – 2 = -2  (2) <=> 2x - 6y = -2 + 2 = 0 <=> (2x - 6y)/2 = 0 <=> x - 3y = 0 (4)

—x+y+ 2 = 7​ (3) <=> -x + y = 7 - 2 <=> x - y = -5 (5)

Subtract (5) from (4), we have:

(x - 3y) - (x - y ) = 0 - (-5)

<=> x - 3y - x + y = 5

<=> -2y = 5

<=> y = - 5/2

Replace y with (4), we have x = 3 × (-5/2) = -15/2 (or -7 1/2)

Replace x with -15/2 and y with -5/2 in (1), we have z = 6 - (-15/2 - (-5/2)) = 6 + (15/2 - 5/2) = 6 + 5 = 11

A scientist discovers a new way to produce vitamin C. In 15 hours, 678 kilograms are produced. In 25 hours, 1018 kilograms are p
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 34\cdot x + 168.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Analytical Geometry, we know that any equation of the line can be determined by knowing two distinct points on Cartesian plane. From statement we get that:

y(15\,h) = 678\,kg (1)

y (25\,h) = 1018\,kg (2)

By applying the definition of the equation of the line, we form this system of two linear equations with two variables:

15\cdot m + b = 678 (3)

25\cdot m + b = 1018 (4)

By algebraic mean we get the following solution:

m = 34\,\frac{kg}{h} and b = 168\,kg

And the equation of the line is y = 34\cdot x + 168.

Over time, the value of the property at 397 West Lake Street increased by 275%. If the initial value of the property was P, whic
larisa86 [58]

Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial value of the property = P

Rate of growth = 275%

So, we need to find the property's current value:

We will use "compound interest ":

Amount=P(1+\dfrac{r}{100})^t\\\\Amount=P(1+\dfrac{275}{100})^1\\\\A=P(1+2.75)\\\\A=3.75P

Hence, Third option is correct.
