Answer:
x = 2.5 inches. Or
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Length: 7 + 2x
Width: 5 + 2x
Note that you have to add x at each end of the picture and onto each part of the width.
The entire area is 120 square inches.
Formula
L*W = Area
(2x + 7)(2x + 5) = 120
Solution
4x^2 + 10x + 14x + 35 = 120 Subtract 120 from both sides. Add xs
4x^2 + 24x + 35 - 120 = 0
4x^2 + 24x - 85 = 0 Factor
(2x + 17)(2x - 5)
2x + 17 has no meaning. It will give - 8.5 which is not possible.
2x - 5 =0
2x = 5 Divide by 2
x = 5/2
x = 2.5
Note: I don't know which one the computer is looking for.
Oh wait a minute i have to write this down
Answer:
840mi. - 12 hrs
x - 3 hrs
This is a simple cross multiplying problem.
840 _ 12
x -- 3 ⇒12x=3(840) ⇒ 4x=280 ⇒ x=70 miles
:D
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 3. While scale real height is 24 arm is 12. 24/2=12
So6÷2=3
