Illustrate the given problem. Refer to the diagram attached to aid our solution.

Area of bigger rectangle:
A = (L+8)(W+16)

Area of smaller rectangle (printed area)
388 = LW

From the second equation, we can express L in terms of W.
L = 388/W
Replace this to the first equation:
A = (388/W+8)(W+16)
A = 388 + 6208/W + 8W + 128
A = 6208/W + 8W + 516
Derive A with respect to W and equate to zero (calculus):
dA/dW = -6208/W² + 8 = 0
-6208/W² = -8
W² = -6208/-8 = 776
W = √776 = 27.86 cm
L = 388/27.86 = 13.93 cm

Thus, the smallest area would be:
A = (13.93 cm)(27.86 cm)
<em>A = 388.09 cm²</em>

I really need help with this one

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the midpoint of AC, that means AB = BC. That means 3x+4 = 5x-6. We can now set up an equation to solve for x:

3x+4 = 5x-6

3x+10 = 5x

10 = 2x

x = 5

Now that we know what x is, we can just plug x into the expression of AB and multiply it by 2:

(3*(5)+4)*2

=(15+4)*2

=19*2

=28

(side note: we could have plugged x into the expression of BC as well, but in this case plugging it into AB tends to be easier to solve)

Therefore, the length of AC is 28.
