Let
x-----------> <span>uniform width surrounding the picture

we know that
(10+2x)*(12+2x)=224-----> 120+20x+24x+4x</span>²=224
4x²+44x+120-224=0
4x²+44x-104=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see  the attached figure

the solution is
x=2 in

the answer is
2 inches

Solve the equation. Then check your solution
kondaur [170]

Answer:

  • Option <u>B </u>is correct i.e. <u>2</u><u>1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question we're provided with an equation that is :

  • v/7 = 3

And we are asked to find the solution for the equation .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

<u>\longrightarrow \:  \frac{v}{7}  = 3</u>

Multiplying by 7 on both sides :

\longrightarrow \: \frac{v}{ \cancel{7} }\times  \cancel{7}  = 3 \times 7

On further calculations , we get :

\longrightarrow \:  \blue{\boxed{v = 21}}

  • <u>Therefore</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>solution</u><u> </u><u>for</u><u> equation</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>2</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>.</u><u>That </u><u>means</u><u> </u><u>option </u><u>B </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>correct</u><u> answer</u><u>.</u>

<u>Verifying</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

We are verifying our answer by substituting value of v in the equation given in question :

\longrightarrow \: \frac{v}{7}  = 3

Putting value of v :

\longrightarrow \:  \cancel{\frac{21}{7}}  = 3

By dividing 21 with 7 , we get :

\longrightarrow \:3 = 3

\longrightarrow \: L.H.S=R.H.S

\longrightarrow \: Hence , \: Verified.

  • <u>Therefore</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>our </u><u>answer</u><u> is</u><u> valid</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

Solve (x + 6)/x - 4) = -16<br> 0 (-12. 22)<br> 0 1-4. 2)<br> O {-4. 6)
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

3\frac{7}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{(x + 6)}{(x - 4)}  =  - 16 \\  \\ x + 6 =  - 16(x - 4) \\ x + 6 =  - 16x + 64 \\ x + 16x = 64 - 6 \\ 17x = 58 \\ x =  \frac{58}{17}  \\ x =  3\frac{7}{17}  \\
