Answer:

Option A. x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3

Width (W) = x – 1

Lenght (L) =?

The area of a rectangle is given by:

Area (A) = length (L) × Width (W)

A = L × W

With the above formula, we can obtain the lenght of the rectangle as follow:

Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3

Width (W) = x – 1

Lenght (L) =?

A = L × W

(x² + 2x – 3) = L(x – 1)

Divide both side by (x – 1)

L = (x² + 2x – 3) / (x – 1)

Please see attached photo for explanation

L = x + 3

Thus, the length of the rectangle is x + 3

The school that Imani goes to is selling tickets to the annual dance competition. On the first day of the ticket sales the schoo
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The adult and the child ticket are both 8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x =adult ticket price

y = child ticket price

I will assume you forget to put that they sold 2 child tickets on the second day

7x+5y=96 and 3x+2y= 40

I will use elimination.  Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by -5 to eliminate y

2(7x+5y)=96*2

14x + 10y = 192

The second equation

-5(3x+2y)= 40*-5

-15x -10y = -200

Add the equations together

14x + 10y = 192

-15x -10y = -200

------------------------

-x = -8

Multiply by -1

x = 8

Now we need to find y

3x+2y= 40

3(8) +2y = 40

24+2y = 40

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 +2y = 40-24

2y = 16

Divide by 2

2y/2 =16/2

y =8

The adult and the child ticket are both 8 dollars
