Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2B

AreaA= Area of a rectangle=Base* height = base (12-x)*height(4) = 48-4x

AreaB = Area of rectangle=base(x) *Height(x) =x^2

Since A=2B

48-4x =2x^2

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

24-2x=x^2

Put everything all on one side

X^2-2x-24=0

(x+4)(x-6)=0

X=-4 and x=6

Only x makes sense since it’s not negative or else your base or one of your sides would be negative

So x=6

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{41p}{70q^4(r-9)^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2p^4}{5q^5(r-9)^3}\cdot\dfrac{41q(r-9)}{28p^3}\\\\=\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot41}{5\cdot28\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_{14}}\cdot\dfrac{q\!\!\!\!\diagup}{q^{5\!\!\!\!\diagup^4}}\cdot\dfrac{(r\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}-9)\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}}{(r-9)^{3\!\!\!\!\diagup^2}}\cdot\dfrac{p^{4\!\!\!\!\diagup}}{p^3\!\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}\\\\=\dfrac{41}{70}\cdot\dfrac{1}{q^4}\cdot\dfrac{1}{(r-9)^2}\cdot\dfrac{p}{1}\\\\=\dfrac{41p}{70q^4(r-9)^2}$

Liam says - (5/12) is equivalent to 5/-12. Explain if Liam is correct by completing the statements below.

makkiz [27]

A positive number divided by a positive number results in a negative quotient, and it's opposite is always positive. The fraction 5/-12 can be described as a positive number divided by a negative number, which always results in a negative quotient. The fractions have different value, so Liam is not correct.
