Answer:
E. x² + 11x - 42 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
let the square sides be x
A = bh = (x + 3 + 3)(x + 2 + 3) = 72
(x + 6)(x + 5) = 72
x² + 11x + 30 = 72
x² + 11x - 42 = 0
Answer:
50/50
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
L = 16
w = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Area = 160 sqr inches
width = x
length = x + 6
Equation
Area = L * w
Solution
Substitute in the equation all of the givens.
160 = x(x + 6) Remove the brackets
160 = x^2 + 6x Subtract 160 from both sides.
160-160 = x^2 + 6x - 160
0 = x^2 + 6x - 160
This equation factors. Turn it around first
x^2 + 6x - 160 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 16) = 0
Answer
x (width) = 10
x + 16 = 16
