Answer:
The area of square in terms of x = 16x² -24x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
It is stated in the question that the length of a square = 4x - 3
Formula to find the area of the square is
<h2 /><h2>Area = length²</h2><h2 />
Area = ( 4x - 3 )²
<em>by using ( a - b )² = a² + b² - 2ab</em>
here a = 4x and b = -3
So,
(4x)² + (-3)² - 2(4x)(3)
16x² + 9 - 2(12x)
16x² + 9 - 24x
16x² -24x + 9
The area of square in terms of x = 16x² -24x + 9
x-32.2= 18.5
Add 32.2 to both sides
x-32.2+32.2 = 18.5 + 32.2
x = 50.7
I hope that's help !
Check your answer
replace x by its number
50.7-32.2= 18.5
18.5 = 18.5
so the answer is good .

It is 1.05 E-14 that's the answer
18 is the least common denominator of all the fractions, so you can eliminate fractions by multiplying the equation by 18.
(4.5*18)x +((7/9)*18)x + (2 1/3)*18 + ((1/6)*18)x = (5 1/18)*18
81x +14x +42 +3x = 91 . . . . . simplify
Collect terms.
98x + 42 = 91
98x = 49 . . . . . . . . . subtract 42
x = 49/98 = 1/2
The solution is x = 1/2.

You can also do the arithmetic with mixed numbers and fractions. The usual methods apply.
(4.5 + 7/9 + 1/6)x + 2 1/3 = 5 1/18
(49/9)x + 7/3 = 91/18
(49/9)x = 49/18 . . . . . . . subtract 7/3
x = (9/49)(49/18) = 9/18 = 1/2 . . . . . multiply by 9/49
This can be a little more tedious than the method above, but it works and it will give you the right answer. A calculator that works with fractions can make this solution as easy as the other one.
