OK.... here we go....

The width is 8 less than the length, so that means: w = L - 8.

So, since the area of a rectangle is: A = L x W ...

Therefore, 48 = L(L - 8)...

48 = L^2 - 8L...

continuing from there .... you get width = 4 and length = 12

48 = 4 x 12   (and notice that the width is 8 less than the length)

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown number be x

now we are to find x regarding the question as an equation, let's form the equation to solve for x

the interpretation of the question is:

(x² + x)/3 = x

by collecting the like terms:

(x²+ x) = 3x

x² + x = 3x

x² = 3x - x

x² = 2x

x = 2

If f(x)=-4x^2-6x-1 and g(x)=-x^2-5x+3, find (f+g)(x)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

f(x)=-4x^2-6x-1

g(x)=-x^2-5x+3

(f+g)(x) = (-4x^2-6x-1) + (-x^2-5x+3)

-4x^2 - 6x - 1 -x^2 - 5x + 3

= -5x^2 - 11x + 2
