Answer:

x = 8 and y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a vertical line is x = c

Where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through

The line passes through (8, - 9) with an x- coordinate of 8, thus

Equation of vertical line is x = 8

The equation of a horizontal line is y = c

Where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through

The line passes through (8, - 9) with y- coordinate - 9, thus

The equation of the horizontal line is y = - 9

Write an expression that represents the perimeter of the football field. Let x represent the length of the football field. Inclu

dlinn [17]

Expression with parenthesis: = 2 ( l + w)
Expression without parenthesis = 2l + 2w

The property we used is known as "Distributive Property"

Let, width = w
Length = w + 70

Perimeter would be: P = 2(w+70+w)
p = 2(2w+70)
p = 4w + 140

Hope this helps!

stira [4]

Answer: 2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width of the cement path.

Dimensions of pool : Length = 15 meters , width = 9 meters

Area of pool = length x width = 15 x 9 = 135 square meters

Along width cement path, the length of region = $2w+15$

width = $2w+9$

Area of road with pool = $(2w+15) (2w+9)$

$= 4w^2+30w+18w+135\\\\=4w^2+48w+135$

Area of road = (Area of road with pool ) -(area of pool)

$\Rightarrow\ 112 =4w^2+48w+135- 135\\\\\Rightarrow\ 112= 4w^2+48w\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4 w^2+48w-112=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+12w-28=0\ \ \ [\text{Divide both sides by 4}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+14w-2w-28=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w(w+14)-2(w+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (w+14)(w-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w=-14\ or \ w=2$
