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! :)

Find f(-2) if f(x) = x + x + 7. f(-2) =
viktelen [127]

Answer:

f(-2) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

f(x) = x + x + 7

We need to find the value of f(-2).

Put x = -2 in the given function.

f(-2) = (-2) + (-2) + 7

= -2-2+7

= -4+7

= 3

Hence, the value of f(-2) is equal to 3.
