Seven units long. The distance between 2 sides, in this example is 6, and -1. The distance between 6 and -1 is 7, so when you add units, you get 7 units.
Area = (x - 5)(x – 7)
Area = x(x - 7) - 5(x - 7)
Area = x^2 -7x -5x + 35
Area = x^2 -12x + 35
algebraic expression that represents its area: x^2 -12x + 35
x^2 - 12x + 35 = 195
x^2 - 12x + 35 - 195 = 0
x^2 - 12x - 160 = 0
x^2 - 8x - 20x - 160 = 0
x (x + 8) - 20 (x + 8) = 0
(x + 8) (x - 20) = 0
(x + 8) = 0
(x - 20) = 0
x = - 8 (not a solution)
x = 20
hence,
length = x - 5
length = 20 - 5
length = 15 m
width = x - 7
width = 20 - 7
width = 13 m
perimeter = 2(13) + 2(15)
perimeter = 26 + 30
perimeter = 56 m²
Answer: Yes because it will stay proportional the whole time. 1:7, 2:14, 3:21...
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 + x = 4
x = 4 + 2
x = 6
Thank you :-)
