L = 5W - 10
5W = L + 10
W = 1/5(L + 10)
Area = L x W
240 = L(1/5(L + 10)
L^2 + 10L = 240(5) = 1200
L^2 + 10L - 1,200 = 0

Answer:

The equation which can be used to solve for the length of the rectangle :  x² - 2x - 48 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of the rectangle be x inches

Now, The rectangle has length 10 inches shorter than five times its width

⇒ Length of rectangle = 5x - 10

Now, Area of rectangle is given to be : Area = 240 inches²

Also, Area of the rectangle is given by the formula : Area = Length × Width

⇒ 240 = (5x - 10) × x

⇒ 5x² -10x = 240

⇒ 5x² - 10x - 240 = 0

⇒ x² - 2x - 48 = 0

Therefore, The equation which can be used to solve for the length of the rectangle :  x² - 2x - 48 = 0

Georgia [21]

Answer:

9\pi \: \mathrm{ft^2\:or}\: 28.27 \mathrm{\: ft^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by r^2\pi where r is the radius of the circle. The diameter is given as 6 feet, so the radius of this circle is \frac{6}{2}=3 feet.

Plugging in our values, we get:

3^2\pi=9\pi\approx28.27.

PLZ HELP AND SHOW YOUR WORK &lt;3333<br><br><br> Substitution.<br><br> 3x+2y=11<br><br> y=5x-1
liraira [26]
Hey there! :D

Substitute y for 5x-1. 

3x+2y=11

y=5x-1

3x+2(5x-1)=11

3x+10x-2=11

13x-2=11

13x=13

x=1

Now, plug that in to find y.

y=5x-1

y=5(1)-1

y=5-1

y=4

(1,4) <== the solution

I hope this helps!
