Mr. Reed is drawing a blueprint of a rectangular patio. The width of the patio is 40 3/4 feet shorter than twice its length. The perimeter of the patio 86 1/2 feet what is the length of the patio?

Length of rectangular patio = 28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of rectangular patio = x

Width of rectangular patio =

Perimeter of rectangular patio =

Perimeter of rectangular patio = 2 (length + width )

Putting values in the formula

Dividing both sides by 12

Hence,

Length of rectangular patio = 28 feet

1; 35 is the ratio

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
