Area of a rectangle = l * w

l = length

w = width

In this problem,

w = x

l = 2x - 4

Area = 70 in^2.

Plug these numbers into the area formula above.

70 = (2x - 4)x.

Distribute the x

70 = 2x^2 - 4x.

Subtract 70 from both sides

0 = 2x^2 -4x - 70

Factor the expression on the right side

0 = 2(x - 7) (x + 5) .

Set each term equal to zero

2 = 0.

x + 5 = 0.

Subtract 5 from each side

x = -5. Side lengths cannot he negative so we need to check the last term

x - 7 = 0

Add 7 to each side

x = 7

The width = 7 and we know that the length = 2(width) - 4, therefore,

l = 2(7) - 4

Simplify the expression

l = 10

The length is 10 inches and the width is 7 inches

(5ab-4a-6)-(4ab-1) find the sum please fast
jekas [21]

We need to get rid of expression parentheses.

If there is a negative sign in front of it,

each term within the expression changes sign.

Otherwise, the expression remains unchanged.

Numerical 'like' terms will be added. There is only one group of like terms

the answer is: ab-4a-5

What is fourteen times one thousand ?*
ioda
The trick with answering your 10s, 100s, 1000s, etc, is just adding zeroes onto the ends of the first number. So, since this is 14 times 1000, you would add 3 zeroes onto 14. So your answer is 14,000. Hope this helped!
