Answer:

Length: 84 ft

Width: 56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define some variables first.

Call the length l and width w.

We know that w = 2/3l. Therefore, we can express w in terms of l with this expression.

Now, let's set up an equation. The flower garden is rectangular, and 280 feet of fencing are used to enclose the garden. This represents perimeter.

Remember the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: 2l + 2w

Let's substitute 2/3l for w:

2l + 2*2/3l = P

2l + 4/3l = 280

2 4/3l = 280

10/3l = 280

l = 84

Now, we know that the length is equal to 84 feet. We can multiply 84 feet by 2/3 to find the width.

84*2/3 = 56

Length: 84 ft

Width: 56 ft

Let's plug these values into the formula and see if they give us the correct perimeter:

2l + 2w = P

2*84 + 2*56 = P

168 + 112

= 280 feet

These are the correct dimensions!  

Hope this helps! You can reach out to me if you have further questions or concerns! :)

If mMVUW=(4x+6)° and mWUT=(6x+10)°, what is the measure of WUT
FinnZ [79.3K]

As ray UW bisects ( divides the angles into two equal parts )

WUT = WUV

6x - 10° = 4x + 6°

6x - 4x = 6° + 10°

2x = 16°

x = 16° ÷ 2 = 8°

Putting the value of x in the Angle WUT

6 × 8° - 10° = 48° - 10° = 38°

What is the solution to <br> −4x+5y=−12<br> x−6y=22
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The solution to the system is S= (-2, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system

−4x+5y=−12

x−6y=22

The first step is to solve x from the first equation for example, and substitute the expression in the second equation.

1) -4x + 5 y = -12 ⇒ -4x = -12 - 5y ⇒ x = (-12 - 5y)/-4 ⇒ x = 3 + (5/4)y

2) x - 6y = 22 ⇒ (3 + (5/4)y) - 6y = 22 ⇒ 3 + (5/4)y - 6y = 22

⇒ 3 - (19/4)y = 22 ⇒ (-19/4)y = 22- 3 ⇒ y = 19/(-19/4) ⇒ y =-4.

Finally, with the value obtained for "y", you have to return to the original equations and replace it to obtain the "x" value.

-4x + 5y = -12 ⇒ -4x + 5(-4) = -12 ⇒ -4x - 20 = -12 ⇒ -4x = -12 + 20

⇒ -4x = 8 ⇒ x = 8/-4 ⇒ x = -2.

Summarizing, the solution to this system is S = (-2, -4).
