Answer:

The answer is

<h2> 19 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

let w be the width and l be the length

Area of rectangle = 247 ft²

width is 6 feet less than its length is

w = l - 6

247 = l( 1 - 6)

l² - 6l - 247 = 0

(l + 13) (l - 19) = 0

l + 13 = 0 l - 19 = 0

l = - 13 l = 19

Since the length should be positive

The length of the rectangle is

<h3> 19 feet</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

Length of the rectangle, L = 19 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Area of the rectangle, A = 247 ft²

Let the length of the rectangle be L

The width of the rectangle = W

Since the width of the rectangle is 6 ft less that the length;

W = L - 6

A = L * W

247 = L * (L - 6)

247 = L² - 6L

L² - 6L - 247 = 0

By solving the quadratic equation above:

(L - 19)(L + 13) = 0

L - 19 = 0, L = 19

L + 13 = 0; L = -13

Since the length of a rectangle cannot be negative, L = 19 ft

For each set of three lengths determine if they can be the side lengths of a triangle
Luden [163]

Answer:

1) Yes

2) No

3) Yes

4) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the rule: the sum of the two shortest sides must be bigger than the longest side. From there, the answers should be obvious. Just add up the smallest sides for each triplet of lengths and see if that is bigger than the largest side.

7 + 14 > 18, therefore this can be a triangle

3 + 8 < 17, therefore this can't be a triangle

3.2 + 9.0 > 11.5, therefore this can be a triangle

6 + 7 > 8, therefore this can be a triangle

Will Mark The Brainiest that is extra points aka FULL POINTS
valentina_108 [34]
Hello!

We can solve this by using substitution

we can plug y = x - 1 into the other equation

So 2x - 3( x - 1) = -1

We can distribute the -3 to (x - 1)

2x - 3x + 3 = -1

Combine like terms

-x + 3 = -1

Subtract 3 from both sides

-x = -4

Since x is negative we can multiply both sides by -1

x = 4

We can plug x into the first equation

y = (4) - 1

y = 3

The answers are x = 4 and y = 3

Hope this helps!
