Answer:

width is 4 inches

length is 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the length is 6 inches less than three times the width

l = 3w - 6

a = l * w

a = (3w - 6)w

a = 3w^2 - 6w

area of the rectangle is 24 square inches

3w^2 - 6w = 24

subtract 24 from both sides

3w^2 - 6w - 24 = 0

Divide both sides by 3

w^2  - 2w - 8 = 0

Factor

(w - 4)(w + 2) = 0

w = {-2, 4}

disregard the negative root since measurement must be positive

w = 4

l = 3w - 6

l = 3(4) - 6

l = 6

Solve the system using elimination.
Molodets [167]

Answer:

(-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5y = -16  [Equation 1]

-x + 3y = 10 [Equation 2]

<u>Adding both equations</u>

  • x - x - 5y + 3y = -16 + 10
  • -2y = -6
  • y = 3

  • x - 5(3) = -16
  • x - 15 = -16
  • x = -1

<u>Solution</u> : (-1, 3)

What do you have to do to each side to solve 5x &lt; 20? <br> Solve 5x &lt; 20. ✏️Show your work
sergejj [24]

Answer:

x < 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write inequality

5x < 20

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Divide both sides by 5: x < 4

Here we see that any number less than 4 will work. So numbers like 3, 0, or even -12587235897 would work.
