Answer:

the length is 12 and the width is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is always to assign letters to the variables.  We can call length L and width W.

Since all units are in cm, unit conversion is unnecessary.

Next, set up some equations.  L=2W-6 because of the first sentence of the problem.  Length times width equals area, so L*W=108.

Now that there are two equations and two variables, the next step is to solve the system.  I'm going to solve it by plugging in the right side of the first equation in for L in the second equation.  This gives me (2W-6)*W=108.  Distributing the W gives me 2W^2-6W=108, or W^2-3W-54=0.  Using the quadratic formula, I get that W=9.  Using the first equation, L=2*9-6=12.  So the length is 12 and the width is 9.

I have 30 coins consisting of nickels, dimes and quarters. The total value of the coins is $4.60. there are two more dimes than
aleksklad [387]

If you have 1 nickle, how many quarters do you have? (3)

If you have 4 nickles, you have 3 times as many quarters (3)(4) = 12

If you have n nickles, then you have 3n quarters so 3n = q, you have  a slightly different equation.

 

If you fix this equation and use substitution like you did, you can get the right answer; you can also try to work in the other information that you have - converting all coin values to cents

    5n + 10d + 25q = 460

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 2. – y= -7. Fully
g100num [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hmmmmm you did not give the full equation for the original line.

However, parallel lines have identical slopes. Whatever coefficient (m) is associated with the x value, will be the slope of the parallel line when the equation is put in the form

y = mx + b
