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"

Answer:

m = 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that adding logarithmic equations, (ex: log a + log b) is the same as log (a·b). Therefore:

log 12 + log 5 = log (4m + 8)

log (12·5) = log (4m + 8)

log (60) = log (4m + 8)  **Ignore 'Log' to solve for 'm'

60 = 4m + 8  **Subtract both sides by 8

52 = 4m  **Divide both sides by 4

m = 13.
