Let the width be w, then length = 2w - 1
Area = length times width = w(2w - 1) = 21.
Thus, 2w^2 - w = 21 or 2w^2 - w - 21 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation gives that w = 3.5.
Therefore, width is 3.5 ft and length is 2(3.5) - 1 = 6 ft.
Answer:
Length = 30
Width = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
So the formula for perimeter is
P = 2L+2W
And we know that:
L = 6W
So then we put in all the information that we do know
70 = 2(6W)+2W
And pop that into a calculator and you get W=5
So now we put that information into L = 6W to get:
L = 6×5
L = 30
Answer:
1.) -5
2.) -4
Step-by-step explanation:
For number 1, you sub in -2 for x.
2 multiplied by -2 is -4, minus 1 = -5.
For the second one, sub in 5 for x.
-5 + 1 = -4.
