The area of a rectangle is given by the expression x2 + 5x + 4. If the length of one side is given by x + 2, what is the length

of the other side?

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.

Divide <span>x^2 + 5x + 4 by x+2, using synth. div.:
     ______________
-2 /    1       5       4
                  -2      -6
     ------------------------
          1       3       -2

Strange outcome!  But if the area is truly x^2 + 5x + 4 and we divide that by side length x + 2, the quotient (result) is x + 3 with a remainder of -2.  Ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly.</span>

Find the equation of a line that contains the points (−2,3) and (0,8). Write the equation in slope-intercept form, using fractio
Gemiola [76]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First we need to find the slope, which is the incline of the line. To do this, you divide the difference of the y values by the difference of the the x values.

3-8=-5

-2-0=-2

-5/-2=5/2

To find the y-intercept, you want to find where the line hits the y-axis. Well, the point (0,8) tells us that the y-intercept is 8. The y-axis is where x=0, so our y-intercept is 8.

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So....

y=5/2x+8.

Have a wonderful day! :D

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. if the area of the rectangle is 200 yd2 , find its perimeter.
Lorico [155]
Width: x
Length: 2x
Area=x(2x)=2x^2
2x^2=200
x^2=100
x=10 or -10(reject as x>0) [width cannot be less than 0, doesnt make sense]
Perimeter
=x+x+2x+2x
=6x
=6(10)
=60 yd

Solve for x: 2 over 3 equals the quantity x minus 1 end quantity over 5
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

13 over 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi Jakeyriabryant! I hope you’re fine!

I hope I have understood the problem well.

If so, what the exercise raises is the following equality:

(x-1) / 5 = 2/3

From this equation you must clear the "x".

First, we pass the 5 that is dividing on the side of the x, to the other side and passes multiplying

(X – 1) / 5 = 2/3  

(X – 1) = (2/3)*5

X – 1 = 10/3

Then we pass the one that is subtracting from the side of the x, to the other side and passes adding

X  = 10/3 + 1

Remember that to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator or a common denominator (in this case we can write 1 as fraction 3/3). Then,

X = 10/3 + 3/3

X = 13/3

I hope I've been helpful!

Regards!
