Jane bought a new rectangular placemat with an area of 126 square inches. the length of the placemat is four times the quantity of nine less than half its width. complete the equation that models the area of the placemat, in terms of the width of the placemat, w. = w2 - w the width of the placemat is inche

Step-by-step explanation:

The length is described as 4(-9 +w/2), which simplifies to 2w-36. The area is the product of length and width, so is ...

  Area = width×length

  126 = w(2w -36) = 2w² -36w

__

This equation can be divided by 2, then the square completed to give ...

  w² -18w = 63

  w² -18w +81 = 144 . . . . add 81 to complete the square

  (w -9)² = 12² . . . . . . . . . show as squares

  w -9 = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . . take the positive square root

  w = 12 +9 = 21

The width of the placemat is 21 inches.

i can't see the picture : /

step-by-step explanation:

i found the koficent of the linear function and i foun c acordind to the strict formula y=kx+c and then i took 2 as an x and replacet it on the formula i found and then foun the y
