Answer:

Here's what we know:

A = Lw (Area is length times width)

L = 2w + 6 (length is twice the width plus 6)

A = 140 (Area is 140 m2)

Plug in the variable values:

140 = w(2w + 6)

Distribute:

140 = 2w2 + 6w

Subtract 140:

2w2 + 6w - 140 = 0

Factor out a 2:

2(w2 + 3w - 70) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

w2 + 3w - 70 = 0

(w + m)(w - n)

When we factor out the quadratic, we know it's going to be a +/- situation because the c value in the quadratic is negative, and the two numbers are going to be three away, the plus next to the 3 meaning that the larger number is going to be positive:

(w + 10)(w - 7) = 0

w = -10, 7

We can't have a negative length, so we can toss out the -10, leaving us with w = 7 meters.

L = 2 * 7 + 6

L = 14 + 6

L = 20

Check:

140 = 20 * 7

140 = 140

Equation 1 is 2W - 6 = L
equation 2 is 140= W * L

L=10
W=8

the length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice the width.if the perimeter of the rectangle is 146,find the area of the rectangle
raketka [301]

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 1222 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W), where L is its length and W is its width

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = L × W

∵ The length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice the width

- Assume that the width of the rectangle is x units and multiply

   x by 2 and subtract 5 from the product to find its length

∴ W = x

∴ L = 2x - 5

- Use the formula of the perimeter above to find its perimeter

∵ P = 2(2x - 5 + x)

∴ P = 2(3x - 5)

- Multiply the bracket by 2

∴ P = 6x - 10

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle is 146 units

∴ P = 146

- Equate the two expression of P

∴ 6x - 10 = 146

- Add 10 to both sides

∴ 6x = 156

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x = 26

Substitute the value of x in W and L expressions

∴ W = 26 units

∴ L = 2(26) - 5 = 52 - 5

∴ L = 47 units

Now use the formula of the area to find the area of the rectangle

∵ A = 47 × 26

∴ A = 1222 units²

∴ The area of the rectangle is 1222 units²

The cost of renting a bicycle from Dan's Bike Shop is $2 for 1 hour plus $1 for each additional hour of rental time. Which of th
Vlad [161]

option B

Explanation:

The cost of renting per hour = $2

For 1 hour = $2

For each additional hour, it is $1

For 2 hours = First hour + 1(additional hour)

For 2 hours = $2 + $1(1) = 2+1 = $3

For 3 hours = $2 + $1 (2) = 2+2 = $4

For 4 hours = $2 + $1(3) = 2+3 = $5

The graph which shows this rental cost as 2, 3, 4, 5 is option B
