Here,
let width(b)be x then,
length (l)=9cm+x
area =112 sq cm
now,
area of rectangle=l*b
or, 112=(9+x)x
or, 112=9x+x^2
or, 0=x^2+9x-112
or, 0=x^2+(16-7)x-112
or, 0=x^2+16x-7x-112
or, 0=x(x+16)-7(x+16)
or, 0=(x-7)(x+16)
either,
0=x-7
or,7=x
x=7cm
Or,
0=x+16
or, -16=x
x= -16[impossible,as distance is never negative] so,
x=7cm
therefore,length = 7cm + 9 cm = 16cm and width = 7cm.

L = w + 9

lw = 112

Substitute l = w + 9 into the second equation

(w + 9)(w) = 112

w^2 + 9w - 112 = 0
(w+16)(w-7) = 0

w = -16
or
w = 7

we have to take the positive value, so  w = 7

l = w + 9
l = 7 + 9
l = 16

The length is 16, and the width is 7

What is the rate of change of function g?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The rate of change of function g is: 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table of function g

x               y

2              4

4              7

6             10

8             13

We know that rate of change is also termed as the slope of the function.

Thus,

let us take any two points, let say

(2, 4) and (4, 7)

Determining the slope between (2, 4) and (4, 7)

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 4)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, 7)

Using the formula

Rate of change or Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

               =  [7 - 4] / [4 - 2]

               = 3 / 2

Thus, the rate of change of function g is: 3/2

-4 (-3x-2)+4=60 can you help me plz ​
Ede4ka [16]
X = 4.

You have to distribute by multiplying -4 by the numbers between -3x and -2.

12x + 8 =60

Subtract the 8 from 60 to simplify the equation.

12x = 48

Divide 12 by 48 and get 4.

x=4

21 Last year Chelsea and Sonya took 236 pictures during Thanksgiving. This year Chelsea and Sonya each took the same amount of p
Leokris [45]

Let 'c' represent the number of pictures Chelsea took.

Let 's' represent the number of pictures Sonya took.

For last year's Thanksgiving, c + s = 236

For this year's Thanksgiving, let 'x' represent the number of photos taken in total. x = c + s, where c and s are two integers that are the same (c = s).

And we know that for both years, c + s + x = 500.

As we know that c + s is already 236 from last year, we can remove c + s from the equation in bold and replace it with 236 instead.

236 + x = 500.

Now we have to isolate the x term.

x = 500 - 236

x = 264.

We know that x = c + s, where c and s are the same, so we can just use one of the variables and double it (so you either get 2c or 2s - it doesn't matter which one you pick because they're both the same).

2c = 264

c = 132

c = s

s = 132.

Both took 132 pictures this year.
