---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define Length and Width
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be x
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve for x
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x(2x + 5) = 63
2x² + 5x = 63
2x² + 5x - 63 = 0
<span>(x+7)(2x-9) = 0
</span>x = -7 (rejected, length cannot be negative) or 2x - 9 = 0
2x - 9 = 0
2x = 9
x = 9 ÷ 2 
x = 4.5 ft

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Width = x = 4.5 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(4.5) + 5 = 14 ft

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Width = 4.5 ft , Length = 14 ft
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Franco:
3x+2y=19
Caryl:
2x+4y=24

now use elimination

-2(3x+2y=19)
1(2x+4y=24)
=
-6x-4y=-38
2x+4y=24
add them together
which equals -4x=-14
divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4=-14/-4
x=7/2


we found x, so we subsitute it into the the original equation

3x+2y=19
3(7/2)2y=19
2y+21/2=19
-21/2 -21/2
2y=17/2
divide by 2 on both sides
2y/2= 17/2/2
y=17/4

so x= 7/2 and y= 17/4

1. A motorboat travels 196 meters in 20 seconds. What is the motorboat's unit rate of speed?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

196: 9.8

20: 1

x= 9.8 meters in 1 second

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be determined by following writing equal ratios that represent a word problem. Then, the denominator must be divided from the numerator to get the unit rate/ meters per second.

Are you missing something?
2xy=7
5xy=9 
does not have a solution.
If you mean
2x+y=7
5x+y=9
please say so.
