<h2>Length = 11</h2><h2>Width = 6</h2>

The area of a rectangle is 66 ft^2:

L * W = 66

Length of the rectangle is 7 feet less than three times the width:

L = 3W-7

Substitute L in terms of W:

(3W-7) * W = 66

Factorise the equation:

3W^2 -7W = 66

3W^2 - 7W - 66 = 0

Factors of 66 =

1 66, 2 33, 3 22, 6 11

(3W + 11) (W - 6) = 0

Solve for W:

3W + 11 = 0

3W = 11

W = 3/11

W - 6 = 0

W = 0 + 6

W = 6

Using the original equation, find L:

L = 3W-7

L = 3(6)-7

L = 18-7

L = 11

L * W = 66

11 * 6 = 66

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length * width =Area

3(x-7)*x=66

x^2-7x-22=0

Solve for 'x' using quadratic formula

Now width=9.35234995ft

Length=7.05704985ft

Purchasing the correctly sized BMX bike is based on the height of the rider. In order to fit a customer, the salesman can use th
Archy [21]

Answer:

  (a) 1 inch of rider ⇒ 0.29 inches of frame

Step-by-step explanation:

The "slope" in the equation is the coefficient of the independent variable. Here, that variable is "h", and its coefficient is 0.29. That is, the height of the rider is multiplied by 0.29 (and a constant is added) in order to find the height of the frame.

__

The meaning of the value 0.29 is that a 1 inch increase in the rider's height should result in a 0.29 inch increase in the height of the frame of the bike.

The question asks for an <em>explanation</em> of the slope, not its function in the equation. That is why we have chosen the first answer.
