Answer:

An important property of equations is one that states that you can add the same quantity to both sides of an equation and still maintain an equivalent equation.  If you think of an equation as being like a balance scale, the quantities on each side of the equation are equal, or balanced.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is 77ft and the length of the rectangle is 3ft more than double the width. Find the dimensions of the re
Radda [10]
Let b= length and a=width
Area= a*b  and the problem said b=2a+3 (the length is 3ft more than double the width)
Replace b into Area formula:
Area= a*(2a+3)   and we know that Area=77ft from the problem, so:
77=2a^2+3a now order and equal to zero:
2a^2+3a=77 now solve this with quadratic formula and you will get so values for a: -7ft and 5.5ft as you know the dimensions could not be negative so the correct answer for "a" side is 5.5ft, for getting the b side you haeve to replace a=5.5 into b=2a+3 and you will get b=2*5.5+3= 14ft.
Finished.

omeli [17]

Answer:

25x² − 20x + 4

Explanation:

(5x − 2)²

= (5x + −2)(5x + −2)

= (5x)(5x) + (5x)(−2) + (−2)(5x) + (−2)(−2)

= 25x² − 10x − 10x + 4

= 25x² − 20x + 4
