Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7 + 5(x - 3) = 22

First, distribute the 5 on the left side.

7 + 5x - 15 = 22

Now, combine like terms on the left side.

5x - 8 = 22

Add 8 to both sides.

5x = 30

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 6

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

7+5 (x-3)=22

Subtract 7 from each side

7-7+5 (x-3)=22-7

5(x-3) = 15

Divide each side by 5

5(x-3)/5 = 15/5

x-3 = 3

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3=3+3

x=6

What is the length of the rectangle?

gregori [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

$area \: of \: rectangle \: = 60 \: {yards}^{2} \\ \therefore \: (w + 4) \times \: w = 60\\ \\ \therefore \: {w}^{2} + 4w -60 = 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: {w}^{2} + 10w - 6w -60 = 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: w({w} + 10) - 6(w + 10)= 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: ({w} + 10) (w- 6)= 0 \\ \therefore \: {w} + 10 = 0 \: or \: w- 6 = 0 \\ \therefore \: {w} = - 10 \: or \: w = 6 \\ \because \: sides \: of \: rectangle \: cant \: be \: negative \\ \therefore \: w \neq \: - 10 \\ \\ \therefore \: w = 6 \\ \\ \therefore \: w + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10 \\ \\ length \: of \: rectangle \: = 10 \: yards.$
