Answer:

Length=8inches\\Width=7.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be 'w' inches

Length of the rectangle= (2w-7) inches

Area of the rectangle= 60 inches^2

Area of the rectangle= Length*Width

60=(2w-7)(w)\\\\60=2w^2-7w\\\\2w^2-7w-60=0

Making the factors of the equation:

2w^2+8w-15w-60=0\\\\

Taking common from the equation;

2w(w+4)-15(w+4)=0\\\\(w+4)(2w-15)=0

w+4=0\\\\w=-4

OR

2w-15=0\\2w=15\\w=15/2\\w=7.5inches

As the width of the rectangle cannot be negative, so,

Width(w)= 7.5 inches

Length=2w-7=2(7.5)-7=15-7=8 inches

Length=8inches\\Width=7.5 inches

solve the equations below. make sure you say how many solutions each equation has(MCC.8.EE.7a) A. 5p-9=7p-19 b. 5p-9= 5p-19 C. 5
Sedaia [141]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • A) p = 5, one solution
  • B) no solutions
  • C) infinite solutions
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

A) Add 19-5p to each side of the equation:

... 10 = 2p

... 5 = p . . . . . divide by the coefficient of p

B) Subtract 5p from both sides of the equation:

... -9 = -19 . . . . . there is <em>no value of p</em> that will make this true. (No solution.)

C) Subtract 5p from both sides of the equation:

... -9 = -9 . . . . . this is true for <em>every value of p</em>. (Infinite solutions.)

Use the x-intercept method to find all real solutions of the equation.<br> x^3-8x^2+9x+18=0
meriva

Answer:

a. x=-1,3,\:or\:6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is;

x^3-8x^2+9x+18=0

To solve by the x-intercept method we need to graph the corresponding function using a graphing calculator or software.

The corresponding function is

f(x)=x^3-8x^2+9x+18

The solution to x^3-8x^2+9x+18=0 is where the graph touches the x-axis.

We can see from the graph  that; the x-intercepts are;

(-1,0),(3,0) and (6,0).

Therefore the real solutions are:

x=-1,3,\:or\:6
