Answer:
Line 4
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x+2) = 24
6x+12=24
6x=12
x=2
Answer: y= (-1/5)x -4
First move the x over t the other side of the equation. Now we have 5y=-x-20. Next divide everything by 5 to get y= (-1/5)x -4
area = width * length
or
A = W * L
55 = W * (W+6)
solve for width:
0 = W^2 + 6W - 55
this is a quadratic and has two solutions -11 and 5
a length can only be non-negative so discard -11.
width W = 5 miles
now the length is 5+6 = 11 miles
