Hi,
The answer is 3/2 or 4
How I got my answer:
Just think that (2x+3) OR (x-4) has to be 0.
 Than you can find it out with a simple +/- calculation. 
 2x+3=0 x-4=0
x=-3/2 or 4Hope this helps you.

The length of a rectangle is (x + 1) cm and its width is 5cm less than its length.

NeX [460]

Answer:

a) the area of a square is in terms of x is

$(x+1)^2$ centimeter square

b)The length of the rectangle is l = (x+1)

l = 7+1 =8 cm

The width of the rectangle is w = [(x+1)-5]

w = (7+1)-5 =3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the area of a square is in terms of x is

area of square is $l^{2} = (x+1)(x+1)$

= $(x+1)^2$

b) Given length is l = (x+1) cm and

the width is 5 cm less than its length.

so we have take width is w = (x+1)-5 cm

Given area of triangle is 24 cm

Area of rectangle = length X width

24 = (x+1)(x+1 -5 )

now simplification $24 = (x+1)^2 - 5 (x+1)$

apply (a+b)^2 = a^2+2 a b+b^2

$x^2+2 x+1-5 x-5 =24$

$x^2 -3 x -4-24=0$

$x^{2} -3 x -28 =0$

now find factors of 28 = 7 X 4 is

$x^{2} -7 x+4 x-28=0$

$x(x-7)+4(x-7)=0$

$(x+4)(x-7)=0$

x = -4 and x=7

there fore you have to choose x = 7

The length of the rectangle is l = (x+1)

l = 7+1 =8

The width of the rectangle is w = [(x+1)-5]

w = (7+1)-5 = 3

Verification:-

Given area of rectangle = 24 = 8 X 3

24 =24

so we can not choose x=-4

we have to choose x =7 only

You work two jobs. You earn $9.45 per hour as a salesperson and $11.34 per hour stocking shelves. Your combined earnings this mo

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

11.34x + 9.45y = 141.75

y = (141.75 - 11.34x)/9.45

y = -1.2x + 15
