$\dfrac{1}{2x} = 20$

$\dfrac{x}{2}=20$

$
x=20*2
 
$ $Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 2$

$x=40$

A college parking lot is 140 ft long and 90 ft wide. The college wants to increase the area of the lot by 29% by adding strips o

Novay_Z [31]

The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:

length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft

initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2

Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2

width of the strips: x

New length: 140 + x

New width: 90 + x

New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254

Solution of the equation:

12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254

=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0

Use the quadratic formula.

x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =

x = 14.92

The other solution is negative so it is discarded.

Write in standard form (×+4)(×-5)=4 find the value of a,b,c

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$x^{2}$ - x - 24 = 0

a = 1

b = 1

c = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 4)(x - 5) = 4

x(x - 5) = $x^{2}$ - 5x

4(x - 5) = 4x - 20

$x^{2}$ - 5x + 4x - 20 = 4

$x^{2}$ - x - 20 = 4

$x^{2}$ - x - 20 - 4 = 0

$x^{2}$ - x - 24 = 0

a = 1

b = 1

c = -24

If 3x − (7 − x) = 29, find the value of 6x.

Stells [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -(7-x) = 29 remove the parens

3x - 7 + x = 29 simplify

4x -7 = 29 add 7 to both sides of the equation

4x = 36 divide by

x = 9

then 6x = 6 * 9 = 54
