length=8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. LET,
  2. A=16 units
  3. L=a units
  4. B=a-6 units
  5. L*B=A
  6. Replacing value of L with 'a'. and B with 'a-6',
  7. a(a-6)=16
  8. a*a-a*6=16
  9. a^2-6a=16
  10. a^2-6a-16=0
  11. a^2-8a+2a-16=0
  12. a(a-8)+2(a-8)=0
  13. (a-8)(a+2)=0
  14. Either,. a-8=0
  15. first value a=8
  16. Or,. a+2=0
  17. second value a=-2(Rejected due to negative)
  18. therefore, a=L=8
  19. Length=8 units

Pls help me with my math

Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Left line is defined when x < 1 (x is less than 1). The point is not full and that means that x = 1 is not included.

Right line is defined when x is greater or equal to one x ≥ 1.

Options that have x < 1 and x ≥ 1 are b and d, so the answer is one of those.

Equations of the lines are in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Right line has steeper slope than left line, so the slope of right line will have bigger absolute value. That is the case with option d. (Left line has slope -1 and right one has slope -2, absolute value of right slope is bigger.)

You could also check with y-intercepts. Left line has y-intercept at y = 2 and left line is defined when x < 1. Only option d meets these conditions.

You have to find the reciprocal of the gradient - 1/2
And to do that just flip the sign and fraction:
-1/2
1/2
2/1

So the answer is,
Y = 2x + 11
