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 the slope of the line passing through the points (-5,6) and (-5,-5)
Leviafan [203]

Hi there! :) :D

Step-by-step explanation:

SLOPE=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}

\frac{(-5)-6}{(-5)-(-5)}=\frac{-11}{0}

<u><em>Undefined.</em></u>

<u><em>Therefore, the slope is -11/0</em></u>

<u><em>Final answer is -11/0</em></u>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
