In this scenario Jose jumped the distance Lila jumped plus 2 1/3 ft, so...
Lilia + 2 1/3 = 8 1/3
subtract 2 1/3 from each side to get Lila by herself
Lila = 8 1/3 - 2 1/3
Lila = 6
Lila jumped 6 feet
The area of a rectangle is A = length x width
You would therefore get 36 = length x width
Then, since length is 6 feet longer than twice its width,
you would get length = 2(width) + 6
You would therefore end up with 36 = (2w + 6) x w
solving for width you find it to be 3 feet
Plugging that back in to the area formula, you get 12 feet to be the length.
Answer:
x=5
y=-17
Step-by-step explanation:
basically what I did was:
1) I multiplied the first equation by 4 , solved for x
2) I used the value of x that i found and substituted in one of the equations to find y
Factor both the top and bottom.
(2(x-6)(x-2))/((x+6)(x-4))
To find zeros, the numerator must be 0. The denominator cannot be 0 because anything divided by 0 is infinity.
(x-6)=0
x=6
(x-2)=0
x=2
Final answer: x=2, x=6
