The equation is 138=300-3x
now solve by first subtracting 300 from each side: -162=-3x
divide each side by -3: x=54

Answer:
The dimensions are:
by 
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangle is given as

The factored form of this quadratic trinomial gives the dimensions of the rectangle.
We factor 3 first to obtain;

We split the middle term to get;

We factor within the parenthesis to get;

We factor further to get;

The dimensions are:
by 
Then the perimeter will be

We know that equation of a parabola is given by :-
y = a(x-h)² + k
Where (h,k) is the vertex of parabola and (x,y) is any point on its curve.
Given that vertex of parabola is (3,5) and one point (x,y) is (6,-1).
We can plug the given information in the equation of parabola and solve it for value of 'a' :-
-1 = a(6 - 3)² + 5
-1 = a(3)² + 5
-1 = 9a + 5
9a = -1 -5 = -6
a =
a =
is the final answer.
Answer:
x= 1/4 .....................
y=-1
Use 6 triangles then 2 square so you will only be using a total of 4 square and 12 triangles
