John is building a rectangular pen for his sheep. the length of the pen is 5 more than 8 times the width of the pen.
complete an equation for the area of the pen, where wis the width of the pen.
a= 0 w2+ w

Area = w x (5+ 8 w)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle:   Area=with x length

You are suggested to use "w" to represent the width of the pen.

Now, they give you information about the length of the pen in word form.

We are converting those words into an algebraic expression:

"The length of the pen is 5 more than 8 times the width of the pen"

Length = 5 + 8  w

So we replace the length of the pen with this expression in the area formula:

Area = w x (5+ 8 w)

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
