P=2x+2y, y=(p-2x)/2
a=xy, using y found above in this equation gives you:
a=(px-2x^2)/2 we are told a=12 and p=16 so
12=(16x-2x^2)/2
24=16x-2x^2
2x^2-16x+24=0
2x^2-12x-4x+24=0
2x(x-6)-4(x-6)=0
(2x-4)(x-6)=0
2(x-2)(x-6)=0
So the table is 2 ft by 6 ft.
b) -4
- 8x +4 =36
First, we subtract 4 from 36 to get 32
36-4=32
-8x=32
Since a negative times a negative equals a positive, then the answer has to be negative because 36 is positive.
32 divided by 8 = 4
B) -4
