Answer:

w=6

l=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = l*w

So:

w*(w+8)=84

Then, just find w, and w+8.

w^2+8w=84\\w^2+8w-84=0\\(w-6)(w+14)=0\\w-6=0, w=6\\w+14=0, w=-14

Length cannot be negative, so the width is 6.

Length = width + 8 = 6+8=14

How do you write <br><br> 40/25<br> as a percentage?
rosijanka [135]
<span>What percent of 40 is 25? 
Let x = what percent 
of = multiplication 
is means = 
We now write it in math terms: 
x times 40 = 25 

40x = 25 
Divide both sides by 40 to find x. 
x = 25/40 
x = 0.625 
Change the decimal number 0.625 to a percent. 
x = 62.5%

This is a linear equation/ graph quiz ! please help , my teacher makes no sense to me!
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

(8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = 30

coordinates are (x,y) so you plug in 8 for x and solve for y

5(8) - 2y = 30

40 - 2y = 30

subtract 40 from both sides to isolate y

-2y = -10

divide both sides by -2 to isolate y

y = 5
