Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{-3+\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

2\log x=3-2\log(x+3)\\\\Domain:\ x>0\ \wedge\ x+3>0\to x>-3\\\\D:x>0\\============================\\2\log x=3-2\log(x+3)\qquad\text{add}\ 2\log(x+3)\ \text{to both sides}\\\\2\log x+2\log(x+3)=3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\log x+\log(x+3)=\dfrac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use}\ \log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc)\\\\\log\bigg(x(x+3)\bigg)=\dfrac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use the de}\text{finition of a logarithm}\\\\x(x+3)=10^\frac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use the distributive property}

x^2+3x=10^{1\frac{1}{2}}\\\\x^2+3x=10^{1+\frac{1}{2}}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\x^2+3x=10\cdot10^\frac{1}{2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt[n]{a}=a^\frac{1}{n}\\\\x^2+3x=10\sqrt{10}\qquad\text{subtract}\ 10\sqrt{10}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2+3x-10\sqrt{10}=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula}\\\\ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\a=1,\ b=3,\ c=-10\sqrt{10}\\\\b^2-4ac=3^2-4(1)(-10\sqrt{10})=9+40\sqrt{10}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3-\sqrt{10+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}\notin D

Amanda needs to make a garden plot which has an area less than 18 sq. feet. The length should be 3 feet longer than the width. W
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

<em>Any width less than 3 feet</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The garden plot will have an area of less than 18 square feet. If L is the length of the garden plot and W is the width, the area is calculated by:

A = L.W

The first condition can be written as follows:

LW < 18

The length should be 3 feet longer than the width, thus:

L = W + 3

Substituting in the inequality:

(W + 3)W < 18

Operating and rearranging:

W^2 + 3W - 18 < 0

Factoring:

(W-3)(W+6)<0

Since W must be positive, the only restriction comes from:

W - 3 < 0

Or, equivalently:

W < 3

Since:

L = W + 3

W = L - 3

This means:

L - 3 < 3

L < 6

The width should be less than 3 feet and therefore the length will be less than 6 feet.

If the measures are whole numbers, the possible dimensions of the garden plot are:

W = 1 ft, L = 4 ft

W = 2 ft, L = 5 ft

Another solution would be (for non-integer numbers):

W = 2.5 ft, L = 5.5 ft

There are infinitely many possible combinations for W and L as real numbers.
