Length of the rectangle is 14 ft and width is 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x, then length = 8 + x. Find dimensions if area = 84 ft²

⇒ Area of the rectangle = length × width

⇒ 84 = x(8 + x) = 8x + x²

⇒ x² + 8x - 84 = 0

⇒ x² + 14x - 6x - 84 = 0 (Using product sum rule to factorize)

⇒ x(x + 14) - 6(x + 14) = 0

⇒ (x + 14)(x - 6) = 0

⇒ x = -14, +6 (negative value is neglected)

∴ x = 6 and x + 8 = 14

Solve: 2x + 18 - 1 = 33
Alecsey [184]

Answer: x=8

<u>Simplify both sides of the equation</u>

<u />2x+18+-1=33<u />

<u />(2x)+(18+-1)=33(Combine Like Terms)

2x+17=33

<u>Subtract 17 from both sides</u>

<u></u>2x+17-17=33-17\\2x=16<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Divide both sides by 2</u>

<u></u>2x/2=16/2\\x=8<u></u>
