Answer:

l = 13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width of the rectangle x. Then we can form an expression for the length of the rectangle: 2x - 3

Now we need to form an equation for the area of the rectangle and solve it:

x(2x - 3) = 104

2x² - 3x = 104

2x² - 3x - 104 = 0 - now we need to factorize the equation

(2x + 13)(x - 8) = 0

Now we can say that x = 8 or x = -6.

Because we cannot have a negative length, x = 8 m.

Now we can workout the length using the expression that we formed at the beginning:

2x - 3 = l

2(8) - 3 = l

l = 16 - 3

l = 13 m

X-width
2x-3-length

A=lxw
104=(2x-3)(x)
104=2x^2-3x
52=x^2-3/2(x)
52+9/16=x^2-3/2(x)+9/16
841/16=(x-3/4)^2
29/4=x-3/4
x=32/4 or 8

length is 2(8)-3 which is 13 and width is 8

If x^y = z is there any way to find y if you know x and z?
Rzqust [24]

We make use of y = \log_x(z) to solve for y, when you know x and z

<h3>How to solve for y?</h3>

The expression is given as:

x^y = z

The above expression is an exponential expression.

Start by taking the logarithm of both sides

y log(x) = log(z)

Divide both sides by log(x)

y = \log_x(z)

Hence, we make use of y = \log_x(z) to solve for y, when you know x and z

How do you rearrange the equation (2x) /(4pi) +((1-x) /2) =0 to solve for x?
USPshnik [31]
\frac{2x}{4 \pi } + \frac{1-x}{2} =0 \\ &#10; \frac{x}{2 \pi } + \frac{1-x}{2} = 0
Then we will multiply both sides of the equation by 2 π :
x + π ( 1 - x ) = 0
x + π - π x = 0
x ( 1 - π ) = - π    / · ( - 1 )
x ( π - 1 ) = π
x = π / ( π - 1 )

1. statement: angles 1 and 2 are supplementary, reason: adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary
2. reason: Vertical angles are congruent
3. reason: Parallel lines for supplementary interior angles on the same side as the transverse
4. statement:angles 1 and 5 are equal reason:If two angles are supplementary to the same angle, they are congruent
