The length of a rectangle is 1 meter less than its width. the area of the rectangle is 42 square meters. find the dimensions of the rectangle.

 Width of rectangle = 7 meters

Length of rectangle 7-1=6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w (meters) be the width of the rectangle, then (w-1) (meters ) will be its length.

Now, we know that the area of rectangle is given by :-

Therefore, for the given rectangle , the area of rectangle will be

Hence, the width of rectangle = 7 meters

Length of rectangle 7-1=6 meters

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
