Answer:

The width of the rectangle is <u>7 feet</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 54 feet, and the length is 13 feet more than the width.

Now, to find the width of the rectangle.

Let the width be x.

So, the length is 13+x.

Perimeter = 54 feet.

Now, to get the width we put formula:

Perimeter=2(length+width)

54=2(13+x+(x))\\54=2(13+x+x)

54=2(13+2x)

54=26+4x

<em>Subtracting both sides by 26 we get:</em>

28=4x

<em>Dividing both sides by 4 we get:</em>

7=x\\x=7\ feet.

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 7 feet.

Solve for x<br> Urgent need help
fiasKO [112]
I believe you need to solve this using the quadratic formula!
To begin, this is what it is:
x= -b ± <span>√ b^2 - 4ac / 2a
Just plug in what you have in your problem...
2 being a, 13 being b, and -24 being c.
So we get:
x= -13 </span>± <span>√13^2 - 4(2)(-24) / 2(2)
x= -13 </span><span>± √169 - 8 (-24) / 4</span>
<span>x= -13 <span>± √169 + 192 / 4</span>
x= -13 </span>± √<span>361 / 4
The square root of 361 is 19.
So you have: -13 </span><span>± 19 / 4.
Here's where you take the equation </span>-13 <span>± 19 and put the addition and subtraction sign to use.
-13 - 19 = -32
and
-13 + 19 = 6
Now all is left to do is divide the two numbers by 4.
-32/4 = -8
and
6/4 = 3/2

x = -8, 3/2</span>
