Answer:

The perimeter of rectangle is 18\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

x=y+5 ----> equation A

120=xy+2x^{2}+2y^{2} ---> equation B (area of the constructed figure)

substitute the equation A in equation B

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2(y^{2}+10y+25)+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2y^{2}+20y+50+2y^{2}\\120=5y^{2}+25y+50\\5y^{2}+25y-70=0

using a graphing calculator -----> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

y=2\ cm

Find the value of x

x=y+5 ----> x=2+5=7\ cm

Find the perimeter of rectangle

P=2(x+y)=2(7+2)=18\ cm

▹ Answer

<em>x = -7</em>

▹ Step-by-Step Explanation

-3x - 4(4x - 8) = 3(-8x - 1)

<u>Distribute</u>

-3x - 16x + 32 = -24x - 3

<u>Collect like terms</u>

-19x + 32 = -24x - 3

<u>Move variable to the left and change the sign</u>

-19x + 24x + 32 = -3

<u>Collect like terms</u>

5x = -3 - 32

<u>Calculate</u>

5x = -35

<u>Final Answer</u>

x = -7

Hope this helps!
