Answer:

x = - \frac{2}{3} , x = \frac{34}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is

- 3x + 16 = 18 or -(- 3x + 16) = 18

Solving

- 3x + 16 = 18 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

- 3x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - \frac{2}{3}

or

-(- 3x + 16) = 18

3x - 16 = 18 ( add 16 to both sides )

3x = 34 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = \frac{34}{4}

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.

| - 3(- \frac{2}{3} ) + 16 | = | 2 + 16 | = | 18 | = 18 ← True

| - 3(\frac{34}{3} ) + 16 | = | - 34 + 16 | = | - 18 | = 18 ← True

Thus x = - \frac{2}{3} and x = \frac{34}{3} are the solutions

<u>Given</u>:-

g(x)=18

<u>To find</u><em>:-</em>

x

<u>Solution</u>:-

g(x)=(-3x+16)

18=-3x+16

18-16=-3x

2=-3x

x=2/-3

Please someone help me with this word problem for my math class T.T
olga55 [171]

Answer:

<u>Perimeter</u>:

= 58 m (approximate)

= 58.2066 or 58.21 m (exact)

<u>Area:</u>

= 208 m² (approximate)

= 210.0006 or 210 m² (exact)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following dimensions of a rectangle:

length (L) = \sqrt{252} meters

width (W) = \sqrt{175} meters

The formula for solving the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P  = 2(L + W) or 2L + 2W

The formula for solving the area of a rectangle is:

A = L × W

<h2>Approximate Forms:</h2>

In order to determine the approximate perimeter, we must determine the perfect square that is close to the given dimensions.  

13² = 169

14² = 196

15² = 225

16² = 256

Among the perfect squares provided, 16² = 256 is close to 252 (inside the given radical for the length), and 13² = 169 (inside the given radical for the width).  We can use these values to approximate the perimeter and the area of the rectangle.

P  = 2(L + W)

P = 2(13 + 16)

P = 58 m (approximate)

A = L × W

A = 13 × 16

A = 208 m² (approximate)

<h2>Exact Forms:</h2>

L = \sqrt{252} meters = 15.8745 meters

W = \sqrt{175} meters = 13.2288 meters

P  = 2(L + W)

P = 2(15.8745 + 13.2288)

P = 2(29.1033)

P = 58.2066 or 58.21 m

A = L × W

A = 15.8745 × 13.2288

A = 210.0006 or 210 m²
