Answer:

Length = 10.435 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be l

Let the width be w

Since the length is 9 inches more than half the width.

Then;

L = 0.5w + 9

Perimeter of a rectangle is;

P = 2Lw

Thus;

P = 2w(0.5w + 9)

Since perimeter = 60

Then;

2w(0.5w + 9) = 60

w² + 18w = 60

w² + 18w - 60 = 0

From quadratic formula;

w ≈ 2.87 in

L = 0.5(2.87) + 9

L = 10.435 in

Can anyone solve this for me
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

(-2, -4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this equation with substitution.

x=2y+7

3x-2y=3

We can "substitute" 2y+7 for x into the second equation:

3(2y+7)-2y=3

Distribute the 3

6y+21-2y=3

Add like terms

4y+21=3

Subtract 21 from both sides

4y=-18

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate y

y=-4.5

Plug -4.5 back in for y:

x=2(-4.5)+7

x=-9+7

x=-2

(x,y)=(-2,-4.5)
