Check the picture below

it can't be -3... since is width unit, so it has to be the other

and recall that length = 2w - 5

5 cm less than twice the width: 

l = 2w - 5

A = lw

33 = lw 

33 = (2w - 5)(w)

33 = 2w^2 - 5w

2w^2 - 5w - 33 = 0


w = 5.5, -3

-3 is an extraneous solution, so the only answer is w = 5.5

33 = 5.5l

\frac {33}{5.5} = ( \frac{5.5}{5.5})(l)


6 = l

The dimensions of the rectangle are a length of 6, and a width of 5.5

Find m∠XYW and m∠WYZ m
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

<XYZ = 117°

<XYW+ WYZ = 117°

(6x+44)+(-10x+65)= 117°

6x+44-10x+65= 117°

-4x+ 109= 117°

-4x= 117-109

-4x= 8

x= 8/-4

x= -2

<XYW= 6x+44= 6×-2+44= -12+44= 32°

<WYZ= -10x+65 = -10×-2+ 65= 20+65= 85°

PLease help me dont answer if u dont know
sdas [7]

Answer:

a_n=-8+(n-1)-7

Step-by-step explanation:

General arithmetic sequence formula: a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

where a_1 = first term, and d = common difference.

The first term is -8

And the common difference appears to be - 7 as 7 is subtracted to get to the next term. Ex. -8 - 7 = -15, -15 - 7 = - 22 and so on.

To get the explicit formula of the sequence we simply plug in the values of a1 and d the general arithmetic sequence formula

General formula: a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

We have a_1=-8 and d = -7

So the formula to find the nth term would be

a_n=-8+(n-1)-7
