( 6 + x)(9 + x) =88

54 + 15x + x^2 = 88

x^2 + 15x - 34 = 0

(x + 17)(x - 2) = 0
using zero product property:-
x + 17 =  0  or x - 2 = 0    giving:-

x = -17 , x = 2

x is the amount that the length and width are increased by.

x = -17 is negative and doesn't make sense in this context  and can be ignored; so the amount of increase is  2 feet.

12x + 7 = 7x + 27
Bogdan [553]
(i)
12x+ 7 = 6x + 27
12x-6x = 27-7
6x = 20
x = 20/6 =10/3 = 3.33

(ii)
4x + 74 = 9x = +14
4x - 9x = 14 -74
-5x = -60
x = -60/ -5 = 12.

(iii)
12x -14 = 9x -1
12x-9x = -1 +14
3x = 13
x = 13/3

(iv) 3x + 35 = 13x -45
3x -13x = -45 - 35
- 10x = - 80
x = -80/-10= 8

(v)
6x -1 = 16x -121
6x -16x =-121+1
-10x = -120
x = -120/-10 = 12

(vii)
10 + 9x = 42 + x
9x - x = 42 -10
8x = 32
x = 32/8 =4

Match each equation to its graph. <br><br> 1. y= x-2 <br> 2. y= -2x<br> 3. x= -2<br> 4. y= -2
charle [14.2K]
1 equation goes with the graph one, 2nd equation goes with 4th graph , 3rd equation goes with 3rd graph, and 4th equation goes with graph graph 2.

If the equation is...

y=c, where c is a constant, the line is horizontal across that c value, on y axis. x=c the line would be vertical across that c, on x axis.
