You have a rectangle that has a width of w. the length us 2 more than the width, so the lengthis w+2. the perimeter is 142. so 142=w+w+(w+2)+(w+2). because the perimeter is all 4 sides added together 2 of those sides being the length and 2 beingtje width. combine like terms to get 142=4w+4. now you subtract 4 from each side and get 138=4w. divide both sides by 4. you get w=34.5. now, w is the width. the length is 2 more than w, which is 34.5+2, or 36.5

Given the equation Y -3 equals 1/2 (X +6 )in point slope form identify the equation of the same line in standard form

liberstina [14]

The standard form of a line:

$Ax+By=C$

We have the equation of a line in the slope-point form:

$y-3=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+6)$ use distributive property

$y-3=\dfrac{1}{2}x+3$ add 3 to both sides

$y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+6$ multiply both sides by 2

$2y=x+12$ subtract x from both sides

$-x+2y=12$ change the signs

$x-2y=-12$

Answer:

2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you have to do the quadratic equation like it says in the problem.

x= −b± sqrtb^2 −4ac /2a .

a=-2, b=4, c=5.

x=-4±sqrt(4)^2-4(-2)(5)/2(-2).

x=-4±sqrt16+40/-4.

x=-4±2sqrt14/-2.

2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2. is your answer once you have done everything.
