Answer:
- dimensions: 12 ft by 5 ft
- area: 60 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the shorter dimension in feet. Then the longer one is x+7 and the Pythagorean theorem tells us the relation of these to the diagonal is ...
x² + (x+7)² = 13²
2x² +14x + 49 = 169 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x² +7x -60 = 0 . . . . . subtract 169 and divide by 2
(x +12)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the equation
x = -12 or +5 . . . . . . . only the positive value of x is useful here.
The short dimension is 5 ft, so the long dimension is 12 ft. The area is their product, 60 ft².

<em>Comment on finding the area</em>
The quadratic equation above can be rearranged and factored as ...
x(x +7) = 60
Since the dimensions of the garden are x and (x+7), this product is the garden's area. This equation tells us the area is 60. We don't actually have to find the dimensions.

(y) decreases by 7/<span> (x) increases by 1, so slope =-7,
y- int=-2
this is equation c) y=-7x-2</span>
answer:
x = - 9/2
y = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
make both equations look like y =
2x-3y=21 -> -3y= -2x+21 -> y = (-2x+21)/-3 -> y = 2/3x - 7
-6x + 2y = 7 -> 2y = 6x + 7 -> y = 3x + 7/2
now make the equations equal to each other (since they both equal y)
get x
2/3x - 7 = 3x + 7/2
-7 -7/2 = 3x - 2/3x
-14/2 -7/2 = 9/3x - 2/3x
-21/2 = 7/3x
(3/7) -21/2 = x
x = (3/7) -21/2
x = - 63/14
x = - 9/2
put it back in an equation to get y
y = 3x + 7/2
y = 3(-9/2) + 7/2
y = -27/2 + 7/2
y = -20/2
y = - 10
