Area of the rectangular yard = 96 square feet
Let us assume the length of the yard = x feet
Width of the yard = x - 4 feet
Then
Area of the yard = length * width
96 = x(x - 4)
96 = x^2 - 4x
x^2 - 4x - 96 = 0
x^2 - 12x + 8x - 96 = 0
x(x - 12) +8(x - 12) = 0
(x - 12)(x + 8) = 0
As the value of length cannot be negative so
x - 12 = 0
x = 12
So
Length of the yard = 12 feet
Width of the yard = x - 4 feet
= 12 - 4 feet
= 8 feet
Then
Perimeter of the yard = 2 (length + width)
= 2(12 + 8)
= 2 * 20 feet
= 40 feet.
So the perimeter of the yard is 40 feet.
Answer:
C. 7
49 square rooted would be 7 and the 4 in (x+4) would be negative and not positive like the answer shows.
Answer:
3/ 2
4/ 2
5/ I don't know
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope that it's a correct answers
I'm so sorry for 5 .
X(x+5)=234
x^2 +5x=234
x^2+5x-234=0
Factor:
x^2+5x-234
(x-13)(x+18)
the integers are 13 and 18.
