You multiply both of the equations until you have two of the same term the same like for example, say I have 4x and 5x. You want to multiply until both have the same number, so multiply 5x by four, then multiply 4x by five, and you will get 20x, then both of those cancel out and you will be left with the other variable, and you just solve like a normal equation.
Yes .12 is a rational number
First put it in decreasing power according to x.
x^4-5x+8+x^2
=x^4+x^2-5x+8
Now this question is asking what is the highest degree of x you see in this function.
4 of course.
Therefore the answer to his question is degree of 4.
Done!
X best represents
the width must be x so that the length can be 12+x meaning that the length is greater than length by 12
