Answer: length = 24 ft
Width = 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the barn.
Let W represent the width of the barn.
The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. This means that
LW = 192- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
It's length is 8 ft longer than twice it's width. This means that
L = 2W + 8
Substituting L = 2W + 8 into equation 1, it becomes
W(2W + 8) = 192
2W² + 8W = 192
2W² + 8W - 192 = 0
Dividing through by 2, it becomes
W² + 4W - 96 = 0
W² + 12W - 8W - 96 = 0
W(W + 12) - 8(W + 12) = 0
(W - 8)(W + 12) = 0
W = 8 or W = - 12
Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 8
L = 192/W = 192/8
L = 24
(1,0) or (2,5) or (3,10)
5-0=5, 10-5=5, and 15-10=5
Solving proportions is simply a matter of stating the ratios as fractions, setting the two fractions equal to each other, cross-multiplying, and solving the resulting equation. You'll probably start out by just solving proportions, like this: Find the unknown value in the proportion: 2 : x = 3 : 9.
Answer:
5 is greater than y-8 since 5 is positive it + in the begging +5 while - 8 is less than 0 because it has - in the begging
Answer:
(1,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
x+4y = 9
2x -4y= -6
Add the equations together
x+4y = 9
2x -4y= -6
-------------------
3x +0y = 3
3x=3
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 3/3
x=1
Now find y
x+4y = 9
1 +4y =9
Subtract 1 from each side
4y = 8
Divide by 4
4y/4 = 8/4
y =2
