Question

The length of a rectangular frame is represented by the expression 2x 4, and the width of the rectangular frame is represented by the expression 2x 10. write an equation to solve for the width of a rectangular frame that has a total area of 120 square inches. 2x2 20x − 80 = 0 4x2 28x 40 = 0 4x2 28x − 80 = 0 x2 8x 20 = 0

Answer 1

The equation that can be ued to solve for the width of the rectangular frame is 2x² + 14x - 40 = 0.

What is the equation that can be used to solve for the width?

A rectangle is a 2-dimensional quadrilateral with four right angles.

Area of a rectangle = length x width

(2x + 4) x (2x + 10) = 120

Expand the brackets

4x² + 20x + 8x + 40 = 120

Add similar terms

4x² +28x + 40 = 120

4x² +28x - 80 = 0

Divide through by 2

2x² + 14x - 40 = 0
