Answer:

x = -11/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

-2 = 5 / (2x+3)

Multiplying both sides by (2x + 3)

-2(2x + 3) = 5

"-" sign will alter the inner signs

-4x -6 = 5

Adding 6 on both sides:

-4x -6 +6 = 5 + 6

-4x = 11

Dividing both sides by -4

-4x/-4 = 11/-4

x = -11/4

i hope it will help you!

A rectangular garden has a perimeter of 172 feet. The length of the garden is 24 feet more than the width. What are the dimensio

Lilit [14]

Given width is 24 less than length.
W=L-24
Perimeter = 2(W+L)=2(L-24+L)=4L-48
But we're also given perimeter = 172'
Therefore 4L-48=172
solve for L
4L=172+48=220
L=55'
W=55-24 = 31'
Check: Perimeter = 2(W+L)=2(31+55)=2*86=172' good!

Answer: The dimensions of the garden are 31' * 55'
