P = 2(L + W)
L = W + 5
A = 4P + 2
P = 2(W + 5 + W)
P = 2(2W + 5)
P = 4W + 10
A = 4P + 2
A = 4(4W + 10) + 2
A = 16W + 42
A = L * W
A = W(W + 5)
A = W^2 + 5W
W^2 + 5W = 16W + 42
W^2 + 5W - 16W - 42 = 0
W^2 - 11W - 42 = 0
(W + 3)(W - 14) = 0
W - 14 = 0
W = 14 <==
L = W + 5
L = 14 + 5
L = 19 <==
P = 2(19 + 14)
P = 2(33)
P = 66
A = L * W
A = 19 * 14
A = 266
answer : length = 19, width = 14....perimeter = 66....area = 266
the sum of 12 and a number/n
Yes because it goes up and back down
Top:
x / (x + 1) - 1 / x
= [x^2 - (x +1)] / x(x+1)
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1)
Bottom:
x / (x + 1) + 1 / x
= [x^2 + (x +1)] / x(x+1)
= (x^2 + x + 1 ) / x (x+1)
Now you have:
(x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1)
----------------------------
(x^2 + x + 1 ) / x (x+1)
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1) * x (x+1) / (x^2 + x + 1 )
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) /(x^2 + x + 1 )
Answer:
x^2 - x - 1
---------------------
x^2 + x + 1
