Answer:
Length = x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
Area=length*width. First, you need to factor A(x) = x^2+10x+24, which would equal to (x+4)(x+6).
(x+4)(x+6)=(x+6)*length, length = x+4.
Start by setting up the equation
=
and cross multiply
27 · 2 = 3x
then simplify
54 = 3x
and solve
x = 18
The team lost 18 games.
And to find out how many total games they played, take 27 and add it to 18.
27 + 18 = 45
The team played 45 games.
