Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+x+5= 4x+3

first combine like terms, so add 2x and x which is 3x

3x+5= 4x+3

Then subtract 3x from both sides 3x-3x+5= 4x-3x+3

5= x+3

subtract 3 on both sides 5-3= x+3-3

2=x

Answer Check:

substitute x for 2

2(2)+2+5=4(2)+3

multiply 2 times 2 and add 2 which is 6 and 4 times 2 which is 8

4+5= 8+3

add the number to together to see if the two equations are equal

11 = 11

the answer is right

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet. Its length is 12 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wid

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.

Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Question asked:

Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Solution:

Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn = $x$

<u>As length is 12 feet longer than the width.</u>

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x$

As we know:

$Area\ of\ rectangle=length\times breadth$

$85=(12+x)x\\\\85=12x+x^{2} \\$

Subtracting both sides by 85

$x^{2} +12x-85=0\\x^{2} +17x-5x-85=0\\Taking\ common\\x+(x+17)-5x(x+17)=0\\(x+17)(x-5)=0\\x+17=0, x-5=0\\x=-17,x=5$

As width can never be in negative, hence width of a rectangular wall of a barn = $x$ = 5 feet

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x=12+5=17\ feet$

Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.
