Answer: length = 305 feet

Width = 126 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular field.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular field.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of a garden is 88 feet. This means that

2(L + W) = 862

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

L + W = 431 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The length is 179 feet more than the width. This means that

L = W + 179

Substituting L = W + 179 into equation 1, it becomes

W + 179 + W = 431

2W + 179 = 431

2W = 431 - 179

2W = 252

W = 252/2

W = 126

L = W + 179 = 126 + 179

L = 305

Elena-2011 [213]

5x + 2(x + 1) ≤ 23

Distribute the 2.

5x + 2x + 2 ≤ 23

Combine like terms.

7x + 2 ≤ 23

Subtract 2 from both sides.

7x ≤ 21

Divide both sides by 7

x ≤ 3

klemol [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, "the constant term has been written on the right side", it means that we add 18 to both sides to get.

x^2+3x-18=0\\\\x^2+3x=18\\\\\text{We can see the beginning of } (x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2 \\\\x^2+3x=(x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2-\dfrac{3^3}{2^2}=18\\\\(x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2=18+\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{18*4+9}{4}=\dfrac{81}{4}

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
