A soccer field has a width of x and a length of x + 40. If the perimeter of the field is 240 yards. Write and solve an equation for the given scenario to find the length and width of the field. I will give brainlist if you give me step by step

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by taking the width and length that we're given, and put them into an equation for the perimeter of the soccer field.

The perimeter of a rectangle can be defined as 2l + 2w, so let's solve it using that:

d. vertex

step-by-step explanation:

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
