Answer:

21cm, 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

width=x cm

length=2x-3 cm

area= 252cm²

l*b= 252 cm²

(2x-3)(x)=252

2x²-3x= 252

this is how I did it

we need to find the nearest square of the number (it should be lesser than the area)

that is 225, whose square root is 15.

since there is a coefficient to the x², the value of x would be calculate like this 15- (2+1)= 15-3 = 12

x= 12

we can verify it too,

2*(12)² - 3*12=252

288-36=252

252=252

therefore width is 12 cm and width is 2*12-3= 24-3= 21 cm

verify;

21*12= 252

252=252

hence the dimensions are 12 am (width) and 21 cm(length).

G(x) = 3x + 1; Find g(-8)
gregori [183]

Answer:

g(-8) = -23

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3x + 1    <em>Plug in g(-8)</em>

g(-8) = 3(-8) + 1  <em>Multiply 3 by -8</em>

g(-8) = -24 + 1   <em>Add 1 to -24</em>

g(-8) = -23

Consider the figure. Determine the value of w.​
AlekseyPX

Answer:

w=67°

Step-by-step explanation:

First you solve for x. 12x+11=x. X would be 1. Then you plug in 1 for x and add the w to the equation. 12(1)+11+w=90. after solving that you will get the total for w. which should be 67°

Mariana [72]

Answer:

172 m^2.

So you already have it on the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

For you to find the surface area, you need to find out the areas of all the different colored sections.

There are 6 sections.

2 green, 2 purple, and 2 red.

Green section: (length x width) 7 x 8 = 56

Purple section: (length x width) 2 x 8 = 16

Red section: ( length x width) 7 x 2 = 14

Total: 56 + 16 +56 + 16 + 14 + 14 = 172 cm².

Feel free to let me know if you need more help. :)

boyakko [2]
Answer: x = 6

1. Subtract “2x” on both sides. This simplifies the equation to x+5=11

2. Subtract “5” on both sides. This simplifies to x=6, which is your answer.
