$Answer: \\The\: width\: is \: 6 \: {in}^{2} \\ \\ Step\: by\: step\: explanation: \\ Let \: x \: be \: the \: width \: of \: the \: rectangle,\: x > 0\Rightarrow the \: length:2x + 8 \\ We \: have \: an \: equation:x(2x + 8) = 120 \\ \Leftrightarrow 2 {x}^{2} + 8x + 8= 128 \\ \Leftrightarrow {x}^{2} + 4x + 4 = 64 \\ \Leftrightarrow {(x + 2)}^{2} = 64 \\ \Leftrightarrow x + 2 = \pm8 \\ \Leftrightarrow x = 6 \: \vee \: x = - 10 \\ \Rightarrow x = 6 \: (x > 0)$

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent means out of 100 so we need the denominator to be 100

8/25 * 4/4 = 32/100

The percent is the numerator since it is now out of 100

Find the value of x. Round the length to the nearest tenth.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$x = 5.1 yd$

Step-by-step Explanation:

Angle of depression is congruent to angle of elevation.

Therefore, angle of elevation of the given figure, which is opposite to x is 25°.

Adjacent length = 11 yd

Opposite length = x

Trigonometric ratio formula for finding x is shown below:

$tan(25) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan(25) = \frac{x}{11}$

Multiply both sides by 11 to solve for x

$11*tan(25) = x$

$5.129 = x$

$x = 5.1 yd$ (to the nearest tenth)

Need help pls. I try many ways of this answer

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

3(t+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As with any problem involving division of fractions, you can invert the denominator and multiply.

Your knowledge of the factoring of the difference of squares helps. If that doesn't work for you, you can always use synthetic division or polynomial long division to find the quotient of (t^2-4) and (t-2).

$\displaystyle\frac{\frac{4t^2-16}{8}}{\frac{t-2}{6}}=\frac{4(t^2-4)}{8}\cdot\frac{6}{t-2}\\\\=\frac{3(t+2)(t-2)}{t-2}=3(t+2)$
