The length and width of the garden will be obtain as follows:
let the length be x ft, the width will be (x+3.5)ft
area of the bed will be:
A=length*width
11.76=x(x+3.5)
11.76=x^2+3.5x
thus
x^2+3.5x-11.76=0
solving this by quadratic formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
thus plugging in the values we obtain
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt(3.5^2-4(-11.76*1))]/2
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt59.29]/2
x=[-3.5+/-7.7]/2
x=4.2 or -11.2
thus the length will be x=4.2 ft and the width will be x-3.5=0.7 ft
Answer:
C) Infinitely many
Step-by-step explanation:
7x+3-x=3(1+2x)
6x+3=3+6x
Subtract 3 from both sides
6x = 6x
Infinitely many solutions
Answer:
5+5x-4y
Step-by-step explanation:
C. The first is a solution, but the second is not.
5x - y/3 = 13 ; (2,-9)
substitute the letters:
5(2) - (-9/3) = 13
10 - (-3) = 13 : note that deducting a number with a negative sign turns both sign as positive.
10 + 3 = 13 ;
13 = 13
5x - y/3 = 13 ; (3,-6)
5(3) - (-6/3) = 13
15 - (-2) = 13
15 + 2 = 13
17 = 13 not equal. not a solution
hope i could help
