Answer:

W=(x-6)\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of rectangle is given by the formula

A=LW

we have

A=(x^2-4x-12)\ m^2

L=(x+2)\ m

substitute

x^2-4x-12=(x+2)W

Solve the quadratic equation of the left side

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

x^2-4x-12=0  

so

a=1\\b=-4\\c=-12

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{-4^{2}-4(1)(-12)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{64}} {2}

x=\frac{4\pm8} {2}

x=\frac{4+8} {2}=6

x=\frac{4-8} {2}=-2

therefore

x^2-4x-12=(x+2)(x-6)  

substitute in the formula of area

(x+2)(x-6)=(x+2)W

solve for W

simplify

W=(x-6)\ m

max2010maxim [7]
Answer is
Point-slope form: y + 1 = 4(x -1)
Assuming you wanted
Slope-intercept form: y = 4x -5

Step by step

y - - 1 = 4(x -1)

y + 1 = 4(x -1)

y + 1 = 4x -4

y = 4x -5

An angle measures 38° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
seropon [69]
Answer: 38° and 52°

Steps:
x + 38° = 90°
x = 90° - 38°
x = 52°

90° - 52° = 38°
