Answer: length = 24 ft
Width = 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the barn.
Let W represent the width of the barn.
The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. This means that
LW = 192- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
It's length is 8 ft longer than twice it's width. This means that
L = 2W + 8
Substituting L = 2W + 8 into equation 1, it becomes
W(2W + 8) = 192
2W² + 8W = 192
2W² + 8W - 192 = 0
Dividing through by 2, it becomes
W² + 4W - 96 = 0
W² + 12W - 8W - 96 = 0
W(W + 12) - 8(W + 12) = 0
(W - 8)(W + 12) = 0
W = 8 or W = - 12
Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 8
L = 192/W = 192/8
L = 24
24 / 2 = 12
8/2=4
12-6= 6
6+4= 10
Final answer is 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given system:</u>
Eliminate r to solve for s.
<u>To do so, double the first equation and then subtract the second one:</u>
<u>Subtract</u>
- 4s - (-s) = 104 - 4
- 5s = 100
- s = 100/5
- s = 20
Correct choice is (4) 20
X equal what umber,and y equal what number?
