Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

Answer:
We conclude that the price is 3.5 times the number of board games.
Hence, option B is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that when y varies directly with x, the equation is
y ∝ x
y = kx
k = y/x
where 'k' is called the proportionality constant.
From the table,
For the point (2, 7)
k = y/x
= 7/2
= 3.5
For the point (4, 14)
k = y/x
= 14 / 4
= 7/2
= 3.5
For the point (5, 17.50)
k = y/x
= 17.5 / 5
= 3.5
For the point (9, 31.50)
k = y/x
= 31.50 / 9
= 3.5
From the above calculations, we computed that the value of the proportionality constant remains the same.
Thus, the table of numbers represents a proportional relationship.
Therefore, the equation becomes
y = kx
The price of 2 board game
y = 3.5 (2)
= 7
The price of 4 board game
y = 3.5 (4)
= 14
Therefore, we conclude that the price is 3.5 times the number of board games.
Hence, option B is true.
Answer:
y = 6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 = 7(y - 9/7)
simply right side
-3 = 7y - 9
then
-3 + 9 = 7y
6 = 7y
y = 6/7
