Answer:

The length of the garden is 33 feet and the width of the garden is 4 feet.                                        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in he question:

Perimeter of rectangular garden = 74 feet

Let l be the length of the garden and w be the width.

The length of the garden is 9 feet more than 6 times the width.

Thus, we can write

l = 9 + 6w\\\Rightarrow l-6w = 9

Perimeter of rectangular garden =

2(l + w) = 74\\\Rightarrow l+w = 37

Solving the two equation by elimination method, we get,

l-6w-(l+w) = 9 -37\\-7w = -28\\w = 4\\l = 9 + 6(4) = 33

Thus, the length of the garden is 33 feet and the width of the garden is 4 feet.

Whats the answer????
Citrus2011 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope (and always the factor of x). it is expressed as ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

b is the y-intercept, the y value of the point, where the line crosses the y-axis (in other words : the y value when x = 0).

so, look at the chart. where do we see points with integer coordinates (these are the easiest to read correctly and work with) ?

I see for example (0, -6) and (4, -7).

to go from the first to the second point :

x changes by +4 units (from 0 to 4).

y changes by -1 unit (from -6 to -7).

the slope a is therefore -1/4.

and the first point i picked gives us also automatically the y-intercept (-6).

so, the line equation is

y = (-1/4)x - 6

Can someone please help me? I don't understand this problem. How would they be the same???
musickatia [10]
Area of rectangle = 15 x 8
                           =120

area of parallelogram = 8 x 15 
                               =120
so, they have the same area, because the length of a rectangle is the same as the height of a parallelogram and also for the base.

A number increases by 10%, and then decreases by 10%. Will the result be greater than, less than, or equal to the original numbe
elena-s [515]
Given that the number is x,
10% increase will give us a new number of:
110/100*x
=1.1x
10% decrease will give us a new number of:
90/100*1.1x
=0.99x
This implies the new number is less than the original number
