The length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 4

Mathematics

Answer:

length = 10 in, width = 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

Then, length = (x+4)

Area = 60 in²

Area of a rectangle = width × length

60 = x × (x+4)

60 = x² + 4x

x² + 4x - 60 = 0

Splitting the middle term :-

x² + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0

x (x + 10) - 6 ( x + 10) =0

(x + 10) ( x - 6)

x = -10 (doesn't fulfill our requirement)

x = 6

So, width = 6 in

length = 6+4 = 10 in

tekilochka [14]
If you would like to solve for x, you can do this using the following steps:

7x + 15 = 38
7x = 38 - 15
7x = 23
x = 23/7

The correct result would be 23/7.

1. (SLO) Simplify the expression: 6(b-7)
Sav [38]

1 → B

multiply each term in the parenthesis by the 6 outside

6(b-7) = 6b - 42

2 → D

multiply each term in the parenthesis by the 3 outside

3(4x+6y+2) = 12x+18y+6

3 → A

the value outside the parenthesis is -1, hence each term inside is multiplied by -1

-1(6x+5y) = -6x -5y
