Answer:

$\frac{3x+7}{4x+1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{12x^2+31x+7}{16x^2+8x+1}$

First you factor $12x^2+31x+7$ :

$=\left(12x^2+3x\right)+\left(28x+7\right)$

Then you factor out $3x$ from $12x^2+3x$ :

$12x^2+3x$

$=12xx+3x$

$=3\cdot \:4xx+3x$

$=3x\left(4x+1\right)$

Then you factor out 7 from $28x+7$ :

$28x+7$

$=7\cdot \:4x+7$

$=7\left(4x+1\right)$

$=3x\left(4x+1\right)+7\left(4x+1\right)$

Factor out common term $4x+1$ :

$=\left(4x+1\right)\left(3x+7\right)$

$\frac{\left(4x+1\right)\left(3x+7\right)}{16x^2+8x+1}$

Factor $16x^2+8x+1$ :

$=4^2x^2+8x+1$

$=4^2x^2+8x+1^2$

$=\left(4x\right)^2+8x+1^2$

$=\left(4x\right)^2+2\cdot \:4x\cdot \:1+1^2$

Use the perfect square formula:

$=\left(4x+1\right)^2$

$\frac{\left(4x+1\right)\left(3x+7\right)}{\left(4x+1\right)^2}$

Cancel out common factor $4x+1$ :

$=\frac{3x+7}{4x+1}$

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

Solve the attached question #yohaniJaman

aksik [14]

HETY is a parallelogram.

HT and EY are diagonals. We know that diagonals divides the parallelogram into two equal parts.

So ar(HET) = ar(HTY)

And, ar(HEY) = ar(EYT) now, in AHET, diagonal EY bisects the line segment HT and also the AHET,

∴ar(AHOE) = ar(AEOT)

Similarly in AETY

ar(ΔΕΟΤ) = ar(ΔΤΟΥ)

And in AHTY,

ar(ATOY) = ar(AHOY)

That means diagonals in parallelogram divides it into four equal parts.

Hence Proofed.
