Answer:
The dimension of the base of the Rectangle Pyramid is Length = 10 and Width = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Rectangle Pyramid
Base Length = 3x + 1
Base Width = x
Height = 12
Volume = 96
Required
Dimension of the base of the pyramid
Given that the volume of the pyramid is ⅓ of the base area * the height.
This is represented mathematical as
Volume = ⅓ * base area * height.
Where
Base area = width * length
Base area = (3x + 1) * x
Base area = 3x² + x.
So,
Volume becomes
Volume = ⅓ * (3x² + x) * 12.
Volume = (3x² + x) * 4
Substitute 96 for volume
96 = (3x² + x) * 4
Divide both sides by 4
96/4 = (3x² + x) * 4/4
24 = 3x² + x
Subtract 24 fr both sides
24 - 24 = 3x² + x - 24
0 = 3x² + x - 24
3x² + x - 24 = 0
Expand
3x² + 9x - 8x - 24 = 0
Factorize
3x(x + 3) - 8(x + 3) = 0
(3x - 8)(x + 3) = 0
3x - 8 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
3x = 8 or x = -3
x = 8/3 or x = -3
Recall that
Length = 3x + 1
Width = x
For any of the above expression, x can't be less than 0; so, x = -3 can't be considered.
Substitute x = 8/3
Length = 3x + 1
Length = 3(8/3) + 1
Length = 8 + 1
Length = 9
Width = x
Width = 8/3
Hence, the dimension of the base of the Rectangle Pyramid is Length = 10 and Width = 8/3

Answer: -5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
(4x + -28) = 9x
Reorder the terms:
(-28 + 4x) = 9x
Remove parenthesis around (-28 + 4x)
-28 + 4x = 9x
Solving
-28 + 4x = 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 4x + -9x = 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 4x + -9x = -5x
-28 + -5x = 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
-28 + -5x = 0
Add '28' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 28 + -5x = 0 + 28
Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0
0 + -5x = 0 + 28
-5x = 0 + 28
Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28
-5x = 28
Divide each side by '-5'.
x = -5.6
Simplifying
x = -5.6
