<span>Let the extension of the length and width be x.
The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
Width =3+x
Area = 104 ft squared
Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
x^2 +11x +24=104
x^2 +11x +24-104=0
x^2 +11x-80=0
Factorize using splitting the middle term method.
X^2 +16x-5x-80=0
x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0
(x-5)(x+16)=0
either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0
x=5 or x=-16
length and width measure cannot be negative.
Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.</span>
Answer:
k = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 2k from both sides
_5k+8= -37
subtract 8
_5k = -45
divide by 5
_k = -9
8/40=?/120 40x3=120 8x3=24 so 24 pages or 24/120
In order to solve for a, we must isolate it. To do this, we should add c to both sides, making a the only term on the left.
Final answer: a=c+d-r
