Answer:

length = 11 yard

width =  5 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L W

where A = 55 yard

           L = 3W - 4

find: Length

        width

solution:

A = L W

55 = (3W - 4) W

55 = 3W² - 4W

3W² - 4W - 55 = 0

use quadratic equation to solve for W:

W = <u> - (-4) ± √(-4)² - 4(3)-55 </u>

                    2(3)

W = 5,  W = -11/3

substitute W=5 to equation L = 3W - 4 to solve for L

L = 3W - 4

L = 3(5) - 4

L = 15 - 4

L = 11

therefore, the dimensions of a rectangle:

length = 11 yard

width =  5 yard

15 points !!<br> Estimate the solution to the following system of equations by graphing.
Marina86 [1]
For this case we have the following system of equations:
 -4x + 5y = 8
 6x - y = 11
 The solution is the ordered pair where both functions intersect. 
 In this case, the point of intersection is:
 (x, y) = (5/2, 7/2)
 Answer:
 (x, y) = (5/2, 7/2)
