We know from the problem that l = 3w - 5. We also know the formula for area is A = w * l. Therefore, the area of the rectangle is A = w * (3w - 5). We can then set this equation equal to 50 as the question states and solve for w.

50 = w*(3w - 5)

Expand the multiplication
50 = 3w^2 - 5w

Subtract 50 from both sides.
0 = 3w^2 - 5w - 50

We now have a quadratic equation and can solve it using the quadratic formula to find w. We find that the solutions to the equation are 5 and -3.3. We know that the width can't be negative, so the width must be 5.

Finally, we can plug this solution into the length formula we found earlier to solve for length.
l = 3w - 5

Plug in the solution to w.
l = 3(5) - 5

Multiply 3 and 5.
l = 15 - 5

Subtract 5
l = 10

Therefore the width is 5 and the length is 10.

Ostrovityanka [42]
Nick had 3 1/4 bottles before, and he had 1 2/4 bottles left, so that means
3 1/4 - 1 2/4 =  1.75
1.75= 1 3/4.
So, I do not agree with nick.

Hope this helps!!!   :)

HELP! Consider the function represented by the graph. On a coordinate plane, a straight line with a negative slope begins on the
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

{ x | x ≥ 0 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

There is a straight line started from (0, 9) and passes through (8, 1),

∵ In the coordinate plan, the values of x are arranged in increasing order to the right side of the y-axis,

Thus, the line is defined for all real values of x greater than 0,

Hence, Domain of the line = All real numbers greater than equal to 0,

i.e. { x | x ≥ 0 }

Thus, FIRST OPTION is correct.
