Answer: the length is 11 cm.

The width is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.

The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that

LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1

The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that

L = W + 4

Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

(W + 4)W = 77

W² + 4W = 77

W² + 4W - 77 = 0

W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0

W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0

W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0

W = 7 or W = - 11

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm

L = 77/7 = 11 cm

The order does not matter, so we will be using combinations here. 52C1 is the first one since there is only one possibility. 16C1 is the second. You have to multiply these two, so 52 X 16 = 832.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

 -4xy+6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression =  -2xy+3x-2xy+3x

Simplifying the expression :

Step 1. Write the expression =   -2xy+3x-2xy+3x

Step 2.  Add the similar elements:  3x+3x=6x

          =  -2xy-2xy+6x

Step 3. Add the similar elements:  -2xy-2xy=-4xy

           = -4xy+6x

Therefore, -4xy+6x is the simplified form of  -2xy+3x-2xy+3x

Which of these describes information that can appear in a consumer’s credit report?
ss7ja [257]
I believe the answer is D. A credit report covers info on loan paying history. I was stuck between b and d but then realized it said the company gave a loan while your own credit history covers what you have paid or loaned. Hope this helps, have a nice day.
