Answer:
d = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
19d - 16d - d - d - 1 = 12
19d + (-16 - 1d - 1d) - 1 = 12
19d + (--18d) - 1 = 12
19d - 18d - 1 = 12
1d = 12 + 1
d = 13
Check:
19*13 - 16*13 - 13 - 13 - 1 = 12
247 - 208 - 26 - 1 = 12
39 - 27 = 12
I'm pretty sure you just answered your own question, (no hate), but I'm going to take a guess and say 2 hours??
Width = x
length = x+10
Area of deck = 144 square feet
Area = length * width
144 = x(x+10)
Solving for x in a quadratic:
x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0
Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0
Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18
Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.
Length = x + 10
Length = 18
Width = 8
1. Find the slope
2. Y - Y1 = M ( X -X1) Plug the value. M is the slope and the point (X1,Y1)
