Now the width is w.
It's twice as long as wide, so now the length is 2w.
If the length is increased by 4 cm, the length will be 2w + 4.
The width is decreased by 3 cm, so the width will be w - 3.
The are of the new rectangle is 100 cm^2.
area = length * width
area = (2w + 4)(w - 3)
The area of the new rectangle is 100, so we get
(2w + 4)((w - 3) = 100
2w^2 - 6w + 4w - 12 = 100
2w^2 - 2w - 112 = 0
w^2 - w - 56 = 0
(w - 8)(w + 7) = 0
w - 8 = 0 or w + 7 = 0
w = 8 or w = -7
A width cannot be negative, so discard w = -7.
w = 8
The width is 8 cm.
The length is twice the width, so the length is 16 cm.

Answer:
parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the 2 line have same slopes but different y int, they are parallel
Answer:
first we get y on one side by itself.
4x+5y=5
we'll move x to the other side.
4x-4x+5y=5-4x
simplify.
5y=5-4x
now we get rid of the coefficient on y.
5y/5=(5-4x)/5
simplify.
y=5/5-4x/5
y=1-
The answer is
