If the area of the rectangle below is 126 square meters, find the value of x.
amid [387]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) o a rectangle is calculated as

A = lb ( l is length and b the breadth ), thus

x² + x - 12 × \frac{x+9}{x-3} = 126 ← factor the quadratic

(x + 4)(x - 3) × \frac{x+9}{x-3} = 126 ← cancel the common factor (x - 3)

(x + 4)(x + 9) = 126 ← expand factors using FOIL

x² + 13x + 36 = 126 ( subtract 126 from both sides )

x² + 13x - 90 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 18)(x - 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 18 = 0 ⇒ x = - 18

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 5

Y=2x + 4<br> y = 2(x + 2)<br> what is x
Oxana [17]

Answer:

I believe 1.) is x=y-4/2 and 2.) x=y-4/2 as well

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)

y=2x+4

-subtract 4 on both sides-

y-4=2x

-divide 2 on both sides-

x=y-4/2

2.)

y=2(x+2)

-distribute the 2-

y=2x+2

-subtract 2 on both sides-

y-2=2x

-divide 2 on both sides-

x=y-2/4

I dont know exactly if this is correct, but i hope it helps! :)

I need to solve the inequality but the equal sign is confusing me, what do I do?​
ASHA 777 [7]
Set the equation inside the absolute value brackets equal to 12 and -12, so you will end up with two answers.
7x+2=12 gives you 10/7
7x+2=-12 gives you -2.
So your answers are 10/7 and -2
