Answer:

Length=x+2

Width=2x-1

Area of garden =length×width

88sq.ft=2x-1 × x+2

88sq ft=2x^2+3x-2

2x^2+3x-2=88

2x^2+3x-2-88=0

2x^2+3x-90=0

2x^2+(15x-12x)-90=0

x(2x+15)-6(2x+15)=0

(x-6)(2x+15)=0

x-6=0

x=6 eq.1

2x+15=0

2x=-15(since length cant come in negative so it would not be the value of x)

Since x=6 according to eq. 1 ,therefore

Length =x+2

Length=6+2

Length=8..

A pet store has 80 geckos and anole lizards altogether.

larisa86 [58]

I don’t know what your trying to find but you basically create an equation, like this
3x+5x=80
and solve which would result in x=10
so there is
30 geckos
and
50 anole lizards

Which points are reflections of each other across both axes?

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Hey there!

When reflecting across both axis, we switch up the signs but keep the order of the coordinates.

Thus, (-2, 8) and (2, -8) are reflections and (4, -3) and (-3, 4) are also reflections.

Let me know if this helps :)
