The area of a rectangle is 8w + 18 square feet. The length of the rectangle is 2 feet. Use factoring to write an expression to represent the width of the rectangle.

4w + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length x width (or base x height, depending on how you look at it).

It is given to you that:

Area = 8w + 18

Length = 2

Let: width = x

Plug in the corresponding terms with the corresponding words:

8w + 18 = 2x

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(8w + 18)/2 = (2x)/2

x = (8w + 18)/2

w = (8w)/2 + (18)/2

w = 4w + 9

4w + 9 is the expression that represents the width of the rectangle.

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
