Area=legnth times width
192=(9+x)(13+x)
solve
expand
192=117+22x+x^2
minus 192 both sides
0=x^2+22x-75
factor
0=(x-3)(x+25)
set to zero

x-3=0
x=3

x+25=0
x=-25
not possible since that gives negative legnths and widhs

increased by 3

shorter is 9
9+3=12

C is ansre

Here is a diagram and its corresponding equation. Find the solution to the equation.
Katen [24]
4(x + 7) = 38

Since there is no operation sign between the 4 and parenthesis, it makes it an automatic multiplication problem.

You would use distributive property to multiply each which should leave your equation looking like this afterwards:

4x + 28 = 38
(4 times x and 4 times 7)

You would then solve it like a two step equation,

1. +28 - 28 = 0
2. 38 - 28 = 10

4x = 10

10 divided by 4 = 2.5

x = 2.5

We can recheck our work by substituting in the value of x.

4(2.5 + 7) = 38

10 + 28 = 38

When we substituted in the value, it gave us the correct inequality.

Therefore,
x = 2.5

Okay so, togo flies 30 miles in 3/5 of an hour with the wind.togo flies 30 miles in 5/6 of an hour against the wind. his rate of speed with the wind was 30 / (3/5) = 30*5/3 = 150/3 = 50 mph.his rate of speed against the wind was 30 / (5/6) = 30*6/5 = 6*6 = 36 mph.3/5 of an hour times 50 mph = 30 miles.
5/6 of an hour times 36 mph = 30 miles.mph looks good.
going he was with the wind.
his rate of speed then was the airplane speed plus the wind speed.coming back he was against the wind.his rate of speed then was the airplane speed minus the wind speed.-----50 mph = A + W36 mph = A - W-----looks like A + W - (A - W) should equal 50 - 36.removing parentheses, equation becomesA + W - A + W = 14.
combining like terms, the equation becomes2*W = 14.dividing both sides by 2, equation becomesW = 7.if W = 7, then A can be found as follows:50 = A + 7A = 43.likewise,36 = A - 7A = 43.since the airplane speed is the same, it looks like the answer is good.solving in the original equations, we get3/5 * (43 + 7) = 303/5 * 50- = 3030 = 30good.-----5/6 * (43 - 7) = 305/6 * 36 = 3030 = 30good.
answer is W = 7 and A = 43.
