Answer:

1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(10+2x)(14+2x) = 221

4x² + 48x - 81 = 0

4x² + 54x - 6x - 81 = 0

2x(2x + 27) - 3(2x + 27) = 0

(2x + 27)(2x - 3) = 0

x = -27/2, 3/2

x = 3/2 or 1½ or 1.5 inches

One number is -3 times the first number. The sum of the numbers is -4. What is the second number?
kobusy [5.1K]
Lets say that the first number is x and the second number is y.
from the question we know that:
y=-3x and x+y=-4
from there, you need to replace the y in the second equation with -3x since we know that is what y equals so we can have an equation with only one variable.
x+-3x+-4
Then you solve for x.
-2x=-4
x=2
then you find y with the fact that y=-3x
y=-6

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

(0, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Determine the y-intercept</u>

Using the slope intercept form, we know that the equation is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  Therefore, looking at our equation, we can tell that b is 1 therefore the y-intercept is (0, 1)
