Let
x---------> the length of the rectangle
y--------> the width of the rectangle

we know that
A=84 ft²
[area of rectangle]=x*y-----> 84=x*y-----> equation 1
x=y-5------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
84=[y-5]*y-----> 84=y²-5y---------> y²-5y-84=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure

the solution is
y=12
x=y-5-----> x=12-5-----> x=7

the answer is
the length of the rectangle is 7 ft
the width of the rectangle is 12 ft

Answer:

5.2561

step by step explanation:

using BODMAS, multiplication comes before addition.

Therefore,

\sqrt{1.13 + (2.84 \times 9.33)}

\sqrt{1.13 + 26.4971}

\sqrt{27.6272}

Therefore the answer is

5.2561

The cost y to rent a tent is proportional to x days. if it costs $56 to rent a tent for 7 days what is the formula
Alona [7]
Probably y = 8x. 56 = 8(7), so that works. Without more data, I couldn't say if it could be something else, so that's what I go with.
