Answer:

The garden is 9 feet wide and 26 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

L = W+17

area = LW = 234

(W+17)W = 234

W²+17W-234 = 0

Quadratic formula

W = [-17 ± √(17² – 4·1(-234))] / [2·1]

 = [-17 ± √1225] / 2

 = [-17 ± 35] /2

 = -26, 9

-26 is an extraneous solution

W = 9

L = W+17 = 26

The garden is 9 feet wide and 26 feet long.

The length of a rectangle is (x+3) inches long,and the width is 3⅖ inches.If the area is 15 3/10 square inches,write an equation
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(x + 3) = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation to find the length of the rectangle

Mathematically;

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

15 3/10 = (x + 3) * 3 2/5

(x + 3) = 15 3/10 divided by 3 2/5

(x + 3) = 153/10 * 5/17

(x + 3) = 9/2

What is the justification for each step in solving the inequality?
alekssr [168]
HELLO  ANNA!!

Given inequality
=> −2(x+1)≥3x+8
=>
- 2x - 2 \geqslant 3x + 8 \\ \\ add \: 2 \: in \: both \: sides \\ \\ - 2x \geqslant 3x + 10 \\ \\ subtract \: with \: - 3x \: in \: both \: sides \: \\ \\ - 5x \geqslant 10 \\

now multiply with - on both sides.

As we know now sign will change
=> 5x >_ -10

Now divide by 5 on both sides
=> x >_ -2
