Answer:

8m ×3.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle= length ×width

Let the length and width of the rectangle be L and W meters respectively.

Area of rectangle= LW

LW= 28 -----(1)

L= 2W +1 -----(2)

Subst. (2) into (1):

(2W +1)(W)= 28

<em>Expand:</em>

2W² +W= 28

<em>-28 on both sides:</em>

2W² +W -28= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(W +4)(2W -7)= 0

W +4=0 or 2W -7=0

W= -4 (reject) or W= 3.5

Substitute W= 3.5 into (2):

L= 2(3.5) +1

L= 7 +1

L= 8

∴ The dimensions of the rectangle is 8m ×3.5m.

Yuki888 [10]
X= -8
Y= -48

Explanation:
Since we know that 3x-24 is equal to y, we can plug that in for y in the equation 5x-y=8. That would look like 5x-(3x-24)=8. Distribute the -1 and you will get 5x-3x+24=8. Subtract 24 from both sides and get 2x=-16. Divide both by 2 and get x=-8. Than plug in -8 for y in one of the equations to get the y. You will get -48.

2(3x+7)+x=70<br> That it I need help
mafiozo [28]

2(3x+7)+x=70

mutiply the bracket by 2

(2)(3x)(2)(7)+x= 70

6x+14+x= 70

6x+x+14= 70 ( combine like terms)

7x+14= 70

move 14 to the other side

sign changes from +14 to -14

7x+14-14=70-14

7x= 56

divide both sides by 7

7x/7= 56/7

x=8

Answer: x= 8
