w + -11 = 1.3
Reorder the terms:
-11 + w = 1.3
Solving
-11 + w = 1.3
Solving for variable 'w'.
Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + w = 1.3 + 11
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + w = 1.3 + 11
w = 1.3 + 11
Combine like terms: 1.3 + 11 = 12.3
w = 12.3
Simplifying
w = 12.3 <--- (Answer)

Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The question talks about;
- A rectangular flower bed whose dimensions are 12 ft by 9 ft
We are required to determine the length of the diagonal
To answer the question, we need to know the following;
- All the angles in a rectangle are right angles
- A diagonal divides a rectangle into two right-angled triangles
- The dimensions of the rectangle acts as the legs of right angled triangle.
Therefore;
Using Pythagoras theorem;
a² + b² = c²
Where, c is the hypotenuse (in this case the diagonal)
a and b are the shorter sides of the right-angled triangle
Therefore;
c² = 12² + 9²
c² = 144 + 81
= 225
c = √225
= 15
Therefore, the length of the diagonal is 15 feet
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
