⇛L = W + 5

⇛L × W = 150 sq. units

⇛W (W + 5) = 150

⇛W² + 5W = 150

⇛W² + 5W - 150 = 0

⇛[(W - 10) (W + 15)] = 0

⇛W = -10 , 15 (reject negative width)

☞ Width of rectangle is 10 units

☞ Length of rectangle is 15 units

Sally and her husband Jim left their house at the same time traveling in the same direction. Sally drove at 55mph and Jim drove
romanna [79]

Answer:

It will take 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know distance = rate * time

Sally's rate = 55

Jim's rate = 65

We want Jim to be 100 miles ahead of Sally

The time will always be the same.

d =Sally's distance


Sally

d = 55t


Jim

d+100 = 65 t


We know have 2 equations with 2 unknowns.  Substitute d= 55t into Jim's equations

55t + 100 = 65t

Subtract 55t from both sides.

55t-55t + 100 = 65t-55t

100 = 10t

divide each side by 10

100/10 = 10t/10

10 = t

Graph the line using a point and a slope. Write the equation of each line.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

y = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line will also have a slope of 1.

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

-1 = 1(1) + b

-1 = 1 + b

-2 = b

Plug in b and the slope into y = mx + b

y = x - 2 is the equation
