Answer:

225 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be l and width be w

Condition 1

2l+2w=68 (Perimeter=68)--------(i)

Condition 2

l=3w-2 ---------(ii)

Putting equation (ii) in (i)

2(3w-2)+2w=68

6w-4+2w=68

8w-4=68

8w=68+4

8w=72

dividing both sides by 8

w=9 inches

now putting w=9 in (ii)

l=3(9)-2

l=27-2

l=25 inches

Now

Area of rectangle =  l × w

=9 × 25

=225 inches²

The points(0,2) and (4,-10) lie on the same line and the points (-5,-3) and (2,11) lie on another line. Determine by graphing wh
joja [24]
You are asked to do this problem by graphing, which would be hard to do over the Internet unless you can do your drawing on paper and share the resulting image by uploading it to Brainly.

If this were homework or a test, you'd get full credit only if you follow the directions given.

If <span>The points(0,2) and (4,-10) lie on the same line, their slope is m = (2+10)/(-4), or   m =-3.  Thus, the equation of this line is y-2 = -3x, or y = -3x + 2.

If </span><span>points (-5,-3) and (2,11) lie on another line, the slope of this line is:

m = 14/7 = 2.  Thus, the equation of the line is y-11 = 2(x-2), or y = 11+2x -4, or y = 2x + 7.

Where do the 2 lines intersect?  Set the 2 equations equal to one another and solve for x:

</span>y = -3x + 2 = y = 2x + 7.  Then 5x = 5, and x=1.

Subst. 1 for x in y = 2x + 7, we get y = 2(1) + 7 = 9.

That results in the point of intersection (2,9).

Doing this problem by graphing, on a calculator, produces a different result:  (-1,5), which matches D.

I'd suggest you find and graph both lines yourself to verify this.  If you want, see whether you can find the mistake in my calculations.

Answer:

n = 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

8 = 14n

Step 2: Divide both sides by 14

n = 8/14

Step 3: Simplify
