Answer:

Length = 16 or -5 feet.

Width = 5 or -16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the concrete pad = l

Let the width of the concrete pad = w

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Area of concrete pad, a = 80ft²

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

l = 11 + w

<em>We know that, the area of rectangle, A = length * width</em>

A = l*w

<em>Substituting the values into the equation, we have;</em>

80 = (11 + w)w

<em>Expanding the bracket, we have;</em>

80 = 11w + w^{2}

w^{2} + 11w - 80 = 0

*Solving the quadratic equation by using factorization method*

w^{2} + 16w - 5w - 80 = 0

w(w + 16) - 5(w + 16) = 0

(w - 5)(w + 16) = 0

Width, w = 5 feet or w = -16 feet.

<em>Therefore, the width of the concrete pad is 5 feet or -16 feet.</em>

<em>To find its length, l;</em>

l = 11 + w

When w = 5 feet

l = 11 + 5

Length, l = 16 feet

When w = - 16 feet

l = 11 + (-16)

l = 11 - 16

Length, l = -5 feet.

Hence, the dimensions of the concrete pad is 16 by 5 feet or -5 by -16 feet.

Explain why their are no solutions to the system of inequalities <br> y ≤2x-5 <br> y ≥2x+1
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Sorry this is late and I think this is right.

They are both parallel, they have the same slope, and do <em>not </em>intersect. If you were to draw a slope out for it, you would find this to be true.

For example: Say the question called for you to explain why there aren't any solutions to these system of inequalities:

<em>y < - 1/2x -3</em>

<em>y > 1/2x + 2</em>

<em>y= -x/2 -3</em> and <em>y= -x/2 + 2 </em>have the same exact slope, are parallel, and never intersect. The first line is 5 units below the second line when x = 0. Because the lines are parallel, it is always below the second line. The solutions of y < - x/2 -3 are the points in the plane below the first line. The solutions of y > 1/2 + 2 are points above the second line.

I hope this helps you. Good luck on whatever you're working on and stay safe! Please let me know if this helped you or didn't.

Hi please help i’ll give brain

Answer:

The GCF is going to be 30

Step-by-step explanation:

This Is how I find the GCF of 2 numbers. I find the prime factorization first, then I find the common factors and multiply them. Here

The prime factorization of 21, 2 × 3 × 3 × 5= 90

The prime factorization of 28, 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 210

The common factors are, 2, 3, and 5. We multiply those to get the GCF.

2 × 3 × 5 = 30

Jackie follow the steps to elevate the expression 15 - (37 + 8) divide 3 37 + 8 = 45 45-15= 30 30 divided by 3 = 10 Mark looks a
damaskus [11]

Answer:

So, we conclude that Mark is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the following expression: 15 - (37 + 8) : 3.

We will first divide the value we get in parentheses and then subtract it.

Because sharing is an older mathematical operation than subtraction. Therefore, we get:

15-(37+8):3=15-45:3=15-15=0

So, we conclude that Mark is right.
