Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1st Divide the numbers: 8/2 = 4

6+4x=5x

2nd Subtract 6 from both sides: 6+4x-6=5x-6

3rd Simplify: 4x=5x-6

4th Subtract 5x from both sides: 4x-5x=5x-6-5x

5th Simplify: -x = -6

6th Divide both sides by -1: -x ÷ -1 = -6 ÷ -1

7th Simplify: x = 6

The width of a rectangle is 6 kilometers less than twice its length. if its area is 108 square kilometers, find the dimensions

Art [367]

Hi there!

Answer:
length = 9 kilometres
Width = 12 kilometres

Let's solve this problem step by step!
To find our answer we need to set up and solve an equation.

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by x.
The width of the rectangle can therefore be expressed by 2x - 6.

The area of a rectangle can be found by using the formula:
A = width × length

Plug in the data from the formula
A = x (2x - 6).

Simplify using rainbow technique.
$x(2x - 6) = 2 {x}^{2} - 6x$

Now we've found the simplified expression that expresses the area of the rectangle. Therefore, we can now set up and start solve the equation.

$2 {x}^{2} - 6x = 108$
Subtract 108

$2 {x}^{2} - 6x - 108 = 0$
Divide by 2.

${x}^{2} - 3x - 54$
$(x - 9)(x + 6) = 0$
Rule AB = 0, gives A is 0 or B is 0.

$x - 9 = 0 \\ x = 9 \\ \\ x + 6 = 0 \\ x = - 6$

The length of the rectangle, which was represented by x, must be 9 (since it cannot be a negative number).

Length
$x = 9$
Width
$2x - 6 = 2 \times 9- 6 = 18 - 6 = 12$

Answer:
length = 9 kilometres
Width = 12 kilometres

a container of candy is shaped like a cylinder and has a volume of 125.6 cubic centimeters. If the heights of the container is 1

Elenna [48]

The radius of the container is 2 centimeter

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that a container of candy is shaped like a cylinder

Given that volume = 125.6 cubic centimeters

Height of conatiner = 10 centimeter

To find: radius of the container

We can use volume of cylinder formula and obatin the radius value
