Answer:

The dimensions are 45 feet by 40 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area of a rectangle is given by:

\displaystyle A=w\ell

Where <em>w</em> is the width and <em>l</em> is the length.

The length is five feet longer than the width. Thus, we can write that:

\ell = w+5

The total area is 1800 square feet. Substitute:

1800=w(w+5)

Solve for <em>w</em>. Distribute:

w^2+5w=1800

Subtract 1800 from both sides:

w^2+5w-1800=0

Factor. We can use 45 and -40. Hence:

\displaystyle (w+45)(w-40)=0

Zero Product Property:

w+45=0\text{ or } w-40=0

Solve for each case:

\displaystyle w=-45\text{ or } w=40

Since the width cannot be negative, we can ignore the first solution.

So, the width is 40 feet. Since the length is five feet longer, the length is 45 feet.

The dimensions are 45 feet by 40 feet.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Bring 3x to the left: −3x + y = 2. Multiply all by −1: 3x − y = −2. Note: A = 3, B = −1, C = −2. This form: Ax + By + C = 0. is sometimes called "Standard Form", but is more properly called the "General Form".
