Note that height is equal to 0 when time equals 0 and when time equals 4, but we are only concerned with time equal to 4
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to isolate y on one side of the equation to see what it equals. To do this, we use inverse operations to cancel out numbers on the y side and find the correct value.
1/3y+4=16
We subtract 4 from both sides, canceling out the +4 on the right but keeping the same y-value by doing the same to the other side.
1/3y=12
We divide both sides by 1/3 (which is multiplying both sides by 3) which will cancel out the 1/3 and tell us what y is equal to.
y=36
Now you know how to solve basic equations! Have a wonderful day! :D
5x^2= x^2+64
-x^2= -x^2
4X^2= 64
Divide by 4
X^2= 16
X= positive 4 and negative 4
Answer:
The dimension of the rectangular closet before construction = (x + 5) ft by (x + 4) ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The homeowner has a rectangular closet and the area of the closet is (x² + 9x + 20) ft². The area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. The length is given as (x + 5) ft. After construction the area change to (x² + 14x + 48) ft². The length became (x + 6) ft.
The dimensions before construction can be calculated as follows:
Mathematically,
area of rectangle = Length × width
area = (x² + 9x + 20) ft².
Length = (x + 5) ft
Width = unknown
area = LW
(x² + 9x + 20) = (x + 5) W
W = (x² + 9x + 20) / x + 5
W = (x + 4) ft
The dimension of the rectangular closet before construction = (x + 5) ft by (x + 4) ft
