Answer:

w =4 ft and l =10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

l = 2w+2

A = l*w

A = (2w+2)(w)

 40  = (2w+2) w

Distribute

40 = 2w^2 +2w

Subtract 40

0 = 2w^2 +2w - 40

Dividing each side by 2

0 = w^2 +w -20

Factor

0 = (w+5) (w-4)

Using the zero product property

w+5 =0     w-4=0

w= -5  w=4

Since we cant have a negative length

w=4

l = 2w+2 = 2(4)+2 = 8+2 =10

Solve for x. 50 = x^2 Show your work.
Tanzania [10]

50 = x^2

To isolate x you need to do the opposite of an exponent, which would be square root.

\sqrt{50} = x Next solve what the square root of 50 is[tex]5\sqrt{2} = x

That is the exact form, in other words your answer, if teacher is looking for a decimal, it would be

7.07 = x

X+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=4x+12=212
Mrac [35]

(x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6))=4x+12=212

x+x+x+x(2+4+6)=4x+12=212

4x (2+4+6)=4x+12=212

4x(6+6)=4x+12=212

12+4x=4x+12=212

<u>-12            -12   -12</u>

4x=4x=200

<u>/4  /4  /4</u>
