\left \{ {{a+b=87} \atop {a-3b=7}} \right.



a-3b=7
a=7+3b

a+b=87
(7+3b)+b=87
7+4b=87
4b=87-7
4b=80
b=20

a=7+3b
a=7+3*20
a=7+60
a=67

The length of a rectangle is 5959 inches greatergreater than twice the width. if the diagonal is 2 inches more than the​ length,
lorasvet [3.4K]

Length: 2w + 59

width: w

diagonal: (2w + 59) + 2  = 2w + 61

Length² + width² = diagonal²

(2w + 59)² + (w)² = (2w + 61)²

(4w² + 118w + 3481) + w²  = 4w² + 122w + 3721

5w² + 118w + 3481 = 4w² + 122w + 3721

w² + 118w + 3481 = 122w + 3721

w² - 4w + 3481 = 3721

w² - 4w - 240 = 0

a = 1, b = -4, c = -240

w = [-(b) +/- \sqrt{(b)^{2}  - 4(a)(c) }]/2(a)

 = [-(-4) +/- \sqrt{(-4)^{2}  - 4(1)(-240) }]/2(1)

   =  [4 +/- \sqrt{(16  + 960) }]/2        

  = [4 +/- \sqrt{(976) }]/2  

  = [2 +/- 4\sqrt{(61) }]/2  

  = 1 +/- 2\sqrt{(61) }

since width cannot be negative, disregard  1 - 2√61

w = 1 + 2√61  ≈ 16.62

Length: 2w + 59  =  2(1 + 2√61) + 59  = 2 + 4√61 + 59  =  61 + 4√61  ≈ 92.24

Answer: width = 16.62 in, length = 92.24 in

if p(x) = x+ 7/ x-1 and q (x) = x^2 + x - 2, what is the product of p(3) and q(2)? a. 50 b. 45 c. 40 d. 20 e. 6
Amanda [17]

Answer:

d. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question given, we will follow the steps below:

we need to first find p(3)

p(x) = x+ 7/ x-1

we will replace all x by 3 in the equation above

p(3) = 3+7 / 3-1

p(3) = 10/2

p(3) = 5

Similarly to find q(2)

q (x) = x^2 + x - 2,

we will replace x by 2 in the equation above

q (2) = 2^2 + 2 - 2

q (2) = 4 + 0

q (2) = 4

The product of p(3) and q(2)   =   5 × 4   = 20
