<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this can be shown using an equation:

2x- 12 = equation for width

x = equation for length

The area for a rectangle is width x length so:

(2x - 12) * x = 270

2x^2 - 12x = 270

Make the equation a quadratic:

2x² - 12x - 270 = 0

(÷2) = x² - 6x - 135

Now you need to find what values multiply to -135 and add to -6, in this case it is +9 and -15

(x + 9)(x - 15)

So x = -9 and x = 15

<h3>The length has to be 15 because the length cannot be a negative, so the length of the rectangle is 15m!</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first solve for the face diagonal. That is \sqrt{(10^2+5^2)}. Notice this will form a right triangle with the vertical side. We get that the face diagonal = \sqrt{125}. Now, we can use Pythagorean theorem again to get the straw length:

s^2 = 9^2+\sqrt{125}^2 where s = the straw length.

We can solve that s = \sqrt{206}

I have 4 questions (please help) IM BEGGING YOU i need help! please!!!!

1) 18h = 252
You divide each side by 18, so you can get "h" alone on a side, and its value on the other side of the equation.
(18h)/18 = 252/18
h = 14 (Answer C)

2) 31d = 186.
Same Thing, you divide each side by 31, so you can get "d" alone on a side, and its value on the other side of the equation.
(31d)/31 = 186/31
d= 6 (Answer B)

3) 55c = 385
Again, same thing, You divide each side by 55, so you can get "c" alone on a side, and its value on the other side of the equation.
(55c)/55 = 385/55
c = 7 (Answer B)

4) 50w = 1050
You divide each side by 50, so you can get "w" alone on a side, and its value on the other side of the equation.
(50w)/50 = 1050/50
w=21 (Answer A)

As you can notice, they all follow the same steps: dividing by the coefficient of the variable both sides, so you can the variable alone on the first side of the equation, and its value on the second side.

Hope this Helps! :)

Remember
you can do anyting to an equaiton as long as you do it to both sidess

distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
commutativ property
a+b=b+a

distribute
3(4x-2)=12x-6

12x-6=9+2x+5
add 6 both sides
12x+6-6=9+6+5+2x
12x+0=20+2x
minus 2x
10x=20
