Answer:

L = 6 --- Length

W = 4.5 --- Width

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let: L = Length; W = Width

Area = 27m^2

L = 2W- 3m

Required

Find the dimensions of the rectangle

Area (A) is calculated as:

A  = L * W

This gives:

27 = (2W - 3) * W

Open bracket

27 = 2W^2 - 3W

Express as a quadratic function

2W^2 - 3W - 27 = 0

Expand

2W^2 + 6W - 9W - 27 = 0

Factorize:

2W(W + 3) - 9(W + 3) = 0

(2W - 9)(W + 3) = 0

This gives:

2W - 9 = 0\ or\ W + 3 = 0

2W = 9 \ or\ W = -3

Width can not be negative.

So:

2W = 9

W = 4.5

Recall that:

L = 2W- 3m

L = 2 * 4.5 - 3

L = 6

Find the following equation
adoni [48]

Answer:

y=\frac{-1}{2}x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y=mx+b when m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Find the slope (</u>m<u>)</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} when the points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

We can use any two points that the table gives us to plug into this equation. For example, we can use the points (14,0) and (0,7):

m=\frac{0-7}{14-0}\\m=\frac{-7}{14}

Simplify the fraction

m=\frac{-1}{2}

So far, our equation looks like this:

y=\frac{-1}{2}x+b

<u>2) Find the y-intercept (</u>b<u>)</u>

The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point the line crosses the y-axis, or in other words, it's the value of y when x is equal to 0.

Looking at the table, we can see that y is equal to 7 when x is equal to 0, so, therefore, b=7.

Now, this is our final equation after plugging in m and b:

y=\frac{-1}{2}x+7

I hope this helps!

Is the equation 3+z= -9 true false or open
Harrizon [31]
Subtract 3 from both sides

(z = -9 - 3)

Simplify -9 - 3 to -12

z = -12

3 + -12 = -9 so this is true.
