Answer:
b = 22 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating the area (A) of a triangle is
A =
bh
multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction
2A = bh ( divide both sides by h )
b =
, hence
b =
=
= 22 m
22 because -9 and 9 squared is 81 subtract that from 103
Ok so if we call the width x then the length is 2x-7
Now by adding a 5 foot brick border around the edge the new dimensions are:
x+10 and 2x+3
Now we can form an equation to solve:
(x+10)(2x+3)=195
2x²+23x+30=195
2x²+23x-165=0
Now we can solve this for x
(2x+33)(x-5)=0
So x=-33/2 or x=5
As x cannot be less than 0 x must be equal to 5
So the dimensions of the garden are 5 feet by 3 feet
Answer:
y =
x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 8 - 5y = -2x
Rearranging gives;
5y = 2x + 8
Dividing through by 5 gives;
y =
x + 
Simplifying gives;
y =
x + 1
This is a standard linear equation form.
