Answer:

difference in area = 16 ft²

if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft

if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacks rectangular patio

width = a

length = 2a - 1

area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

area = 120 ft²

a(2a - 1)

2a² - a - 120 = 0

(a - 8) (2a + 15)

a = 8 or -15/2

Ron's rectangular patio

width = a

length = a + 5

area = lw

area = 104 ft²

a (a + 5) = 104

a² + 5a -104 = 0

(a + 8)  (a - 13)

a = -8 or 13

How many square feet longer is jack patio longer than Ron's patio is the difference in their area. Therefore,

120 - 104 = 16 ft²

The value 8 or 13 can be used for a since the width a have to be the same.

if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft

if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft

Which ordered pair (p,r) is the solution to the given system of linear equations?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

(p,r) = (1/3, 2/9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve a system of equations

We can rewrite the second equation by dividing through by 2

So we have;

4p + 3r = 2

and

5p - 3r = 1

Add both equations:

9p = 3

p = 3/9

p = 1/3

Recall ;

5p - 3r = 1

3r = 5p - 1

Substitute the value or p here

3r = 5(1/3)-1

3r = 5/3 - 1

3r = 2/3

r = 2/9

So we have the solution set as;

(p,r) = (1/3 , 2/9)
