Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"

So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"

Pythagorean's theorem says the hypotenuse of a triangle is A^2+B^2=C^2 in this case I'll put the L,W, and D so it's easy to understand. L^2+W^2=D^2 is the exact same formula as above and is how we will solve this. (30^2)+(10^2)=1000 then we take the square root since 1000=D^2, and we get 36.62 as D.

George weighs 60 pounds less than his older brother. Together they weigh 240 pounds. How many pounds does George weigh?
lyudmila [28]

Easy Algebra question!

Let's use "x" as a variable.

The equation would be x+x+60 = 240 with "x" being George's weight.

Subtract 60 from both sides and you get 2x = 180.

From there you divide both sides by 2, getting x=90.

"x" is George's weight, so he weighs 90 pounds.
