W= width= L+5
L= length
Area= 204

Area= LW
204 square yards= LW
substitute w=L+5 for w
204= (L)(L+5)
204= L^2 + 5L
subtract 204 from both sides
0= L^2 + 5L - 204
factor
0= (L+17)(L-12)

0= L+17
-17= L

0= L-12
12 yards= L


WIDTH
Since the area cannot be a negative number, we'll use L=12 to find the width.

w=L+5
w=12+5
w=17 yards


CHECK:
204=(12)(17)
204=204


ANSWER: The length is 12 yards and the width is 17 yards.

Hope this helps! :)

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

<h2>- 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have

y=4-2x=-2x+4

Therefore the slope is equal to -2.
