Answer:

The dimensions of the garden is 21.5 ft by 114.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the dimensions of a rectangular garden.

From the question, we are told that the length is 7 feet more than 5 times the width.

Let the length be l and the width be w;

Thus, mathematically;

l - 7 = 5w

l = 5w + 7

Mathematically;

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)

Hence;

2(l + w) = 272

divide both sides by 2

l + w = 136

but l = 7 + 5w

7 + 5w + w = 136

7 + 6w = 136

6w = 136-7

6w = 129

w = 129/6

w = 21.5 ft

But,

l = 5w + 7

l = 5(21.5) + 7

l = 114.5 ft

{2x+2y=2,2(x+y)=10}A. single solution B. no solution C. infinite solutions

mixer [17]

To find the number of solutions of a system of linear equations you need to identify the slope (m) in each equation:

$y=mx+b$

-If the slope is the same in both lines the system has no solution

-If the slope is different in the lines the system has one solution

-If the equation are the same (incluided the value of b) the system has infinitely many solutions

You have the next equations:

$\begin{gathered} 2x+2y=2 \\ 2(x+y)=10 \end{gathered}$

Write the equations in slope-intercept form y=mx+b (solve for y).

First equation:

$\begin{gathered} 2y=-2x+2 \\ y=-\frac{2}{2}x+\frac{2}{2} \\ \\ y=-x+1 \end{gathered}$

Second equation:

$\begin{gathered} 2x+2y=10 \\ 2y=-2x+10 \\ y=-\frac{2}{2}x+\frac{10}{2} \\ \\ y=-x+5 \end{gathered}$ As the equations have the same slope m = -1, the system has no solution (the line doesn't cross each other)

1.8 times 15.42 please this question has me stuck

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

27.756

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Move all the decimal points to the right and do the multiplication

18 * 1524 = 27756

1.8 to 19 = one move

15.42 to 1542 = two moves

total three decimal point shifts

2) count the number (total) that you moved the decimal points

3) starting from the right move the decimal point that many times to the LEFT in for the answer
