Tonya has a rectangular rug with an area of 21 square feet. The rug is 4 feet longer than it is wide. Create an equation that ca

n be used to determine the length and the width of the rug. Tonya adds a 1.5-foot boarder all the way around the rug. What is the area of the enlarged rug? Show all work.

a) The equations to determine the length and the width of the rug are

l = 4 + w and l × w = 21

b) The enlarged rug's area =  60 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let l be the length and w represent the width of the rectangular rug

Given the area  = 21 square feet.

So l × w = 21

Also given, the length is 4 feet longer than the width .

So we have

l = 4 + w

Step 2 :

Using the above 2 equations we have

(4+w)w = 21

w² + 4 w - 21 = 0

(w+7)(w-3) = 0

=> w = -7 or w = 3

Since w is the width of the rug, we take the positive value w = 3 as the width

So w = 3 feet

So

l = 4 + w = 4 +3 = 7 feet

Step 3 :

When a 1.5 foot border is added all the way round the rug, the length and  width are increased by 3 feet (1.5 feet on both sides)  the rug's enlarged  length and the rug's enlarged width is

l = 7 + 3 = 10

w = 3 + 3 = 6

The enlarged rug's area = 10 × 6 = 60 square feet

Step 4 :

Answer :

The equations to determine the length and the width of the rug are

l = 4 + w and l × w = 21

The enlarged rug's area =  60 square feet

Graph the line y=-3x
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph y = -3x.  Start at the origin (0, 0).  Place a dark dot there.  Now, starting with your pencil point on that dot, move 1 space to the right and from this new point move 3 spaces down.  Place a dark dot at this new point.

Now draw a straight line through both dark dots.  This is the desired graph.

Point G is between F and H on line FH. Use the given information solve for x and then find FG AND GH.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

X=6

FG=31

GH=22

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: FG+GH=FH

rewrite with values

4x+7 + 5x-8 = 53

combine like terms

9x-1 = 53

add 1 to both sides

9x = 54

divide by 9

x = 6

use 6 end solve for FG and GH

FG = 4(6) + 7 = 31

GH = 5(6) - 8 = 22

Check your answers.. Do FG and GH add up to equal FH (53)?

31 + 22 = 53

I hope this made sense.

What the awnser is and how to work it out because my teacher didn't show me how to
taurus [48]
The most likely answer is B.
Highlighting the corresponding parts from the original in the copy is just coloring in the parts of the copy that have the same scale, for example, if the center of the scaled copy is one unit, the original could be 3 units.
