B) -23 because a double negative is a positive so it’s -35 + 12 which is -23
Answer:
x = 3 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 6x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )
x² - 6x = 4
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides
x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = 4 + 9
(x - 3)² = 13 ( take square root of both sides )
x - 3 = ± ( add 3 to both sides )
x = 3 ±
(6,6) this is the answer. add 3 to the x value
<span>Let the extension of the length and width be x.
The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
Width =3+x
Area = 104 ft squared
Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
x^2 +11x +24=104
x^2 +11x +24-104=0
x^2 +11x-80=0
Factorize using splitting the middle term method.
X^2 +16x-5x-80=0
x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0
(x-5)(x+16)=0
either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0
x=5 or x=-16
length and width measure cannot be negative.
Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.</span>
