Priscilla is making gift boxes for her cookies. The total area of the box's base must be square foot. If the length of one side of the box is 4 foot, how long is the width of the box?

Area  = 16 ft^2

Width = 4ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Square means all sides are the same length. (Definition of square)

If the length is 4 feet, then the width is 4 ft as well.

Width = 4 ft

Length x width = area

4ft x 4ft = 16 ft^2 (area)

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?

check above link.

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.
