Answer:

width =4.5ft

length=6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

w = x

L = 2x-3

area = L*w

27 = x(2x-3)

27=2x^{2} -3x

2x^{2} -3x-27=0

2x^{2} +6x-9x-27=0

2x(x+3)-9(x+3)=0

(2x-9)(x+3)=0

2x-9=0

2x=9

x=9/2

x=4.5

L=2x-3=2*4.5-3 =9-3=6

Which equation represents a line that passes through (–9, –3) and has a slope of –6?
brilliants [131]
\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ -9}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies -6
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-(-3)=-6[x-(-9)]
\\\\\\
y+3=-6(x+9)\implies y+3=-6x-54\implies y=-6x-57
