1) You are designing a new kiddie soccer arena. The area of the rectangular
field needs to be 60 ft'. The length is 7 ft longer than the width. Find the
necessary dimensions.

The length of the rectangular field is 12 ft and the width is 5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is:

The area of a rectangular field is, A = 60 ft.

The length of the field is:

l = w + 7

Compute the width of the field as follows:

Factorize the last equation by splitting the middle term as follows:

Now, since the width of rectangular field cannot be negative, the width is 5 ft.

Compute the length as follows:

l = w + 7

 = 5 + 7

 = 12

The length of the rectangular field is 12 ft.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

collect results in alphabetical order:

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
