Answer:
A) 1/(3x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+2)/(x³+2x²-9x-18)÷(3x+1)/(x²-9)
(x+2)/(x+2)(x+3)(x-3)÷(3x+1)/(x+3)(x-3)
since it’s dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply
(x+2)/(x+2)(x+3)(x-3) times (x+3)(x-3)/(3x+1)
The (x+2)’s cancel out.
The (x+3)’s cancel out.
The (x-3)’s cancel out.
You are left with 1/(3x+1)
X(x + 2) = 120sq units
<span>Set it equal to 0 </span>
<span>x^2 + 2x - 120 = 0 </span>
<span>factor </span>
<span>(x + 12)(x - 10) </span>
<span>For the shorter side: </span>
<span>x - 10 = 0 </span>
<span>x = 10 </span>
<span>Now that you have x, solve for the longer side which we said was represented by </span>
<span>x + 2 </span>
<span>10 + 2 = 12 </span>
<span>Proof </span>
<span>A = L x W </span>
<span>120 = 10 x 12 </span>
<span>120 = 120 </span>
<span>true </span>
<span>Our length is 12 and our width is 10</span>
This problem has infinitly many solutions
