Answer:

width: 20, length: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

area = length x width

since length is 5 feet longer than the width, length = width + 5

so we can replace length with width + 5

500 = (width + 5) x width

500 = w^2 + 5w

0 = w^2 + 5w - 500

w = 20, w = -25

width cannot bc -25 since you cannot have negative width

since width is 20, length is 25 since length = width + 5

width = 20, length = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

area is base x height so 5 x 100 because as I said area is base x height.

The length of a rectangular plot of land is 10 yards more than its width if the area of the land is 600 yd.² find the dimensions
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The dimension of the plot is 30 yd by 20 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Area = 600 yd^2

Length = width + 10

l = w + 10 ......1

Area of a rectangular plot is;

Area A = length × width

A = l × w

Substituting equation 1;

A = (w+10) × w

A = w^2 + 10w

600 = w^2 + 10w

w^2 +10w -600 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation;

w = -30 or 20

cannot be negative

w = 20 yd

l = w+10 = 20+10 = 30yd

The dimension of the plot is 30 yd by 20 yd

Solve the system of equations by substitution <br><br> y = 2x + 1 and 3x + y = 16
Luden [163]

Answer:  y=7,x=3

Steps:

y = 2x + 1

3x + y = 16

Substitute y = 2x + 1

3x + 2x + 1 = 16

Simplify

5x+1=16

Isolate x for 5x + 1 = 16: x = 3

For y = 2x + 1

Substitute x = 3

y = 2 · 3 + 1

Simplify

y = 7

The solutions to the system of equations are:

y = 7, x = 3

Hope This Helps!

Comparing Standard Deviations
inessss [21]

Explanation:

There may be a couple of reasons for this:

1. Each team represents a sample of the players in the league. The averages of (random) samples can be expected to have a standard deviation that is smaller than the population standard deviation by a factor related to sample size.

2. A team average will result from the players who are played the most. Each team can be expected to field players more often whose averages are among the highest. The standard deviation of a set of the top tier of players will necessarily be smaller than the standard deviation of the set of all players.

For f(x) = 2x +1 and g(x) = x^2-7, find (f/g) (x)
Rashid [163]

= 2x^2 - 14 + 1
= 2x^2 - 13
