Answer:

Let the Width(W) =X feet

then Length(L) = (2X-3)feet

Area of the rectangle (A)=77 square feet

A = L× W

L×W=A

(2X-3) × X = 77

2X²- 3X =77

2X²-3X -77=0

Solving it using the factorization method

2X²-14X+11X-77=0

(2X²-14X)+(11X-77)=0

2X(X-7) + 11(X-7)=0

(2X+11)(X-7) =0

When 2X+11=0

X= -11/2

When X-7=0

X = 7

Therefore X= 7

Width = X feet

= 7feet

The width is 7feet

Length = (2X-3)feet

= (2×7) -3)feet

=(14-3)feet

=11feet

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

y = - 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = mx + b     Slope Intercept Form

Step 2:

y = - 3x + b     Input Slope

Step 3:

4 = - 3 ( - 2 ) + b     Input x and y

Step 4:

4 = 6 + b     Multiply

Step 5:

- 2 = b       Subtract 6 on both sides

Answer:

y = - 3x - 2

Hope This Helps :)

The legs of a right triangle measure 6 centimeters and 8 centimeters. How long is the hypotenuse in centimeters?
klemol [59]

Answer:

10cm ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

This would use the Pythagorean Theorem. That means it would be -

a^2_b^2= c^2, in this case, you have 2 of your legs already so those two values would be a&b. you would stick those two into the equation and it should look like this:

6^2+8^2=c^2

then 36+64=c

and then 100=c

after that, you would take the square root of c to get

10!
