Answer:

Length of rectangular strip = 12

area of rectangular strip =   2*12 = 24

Area of square =  x^2 = 12^2 = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square x^2

area of rectangle is given by length * width

Length of rectangular strip = x

width of rectangular strip = 2

area of rectangular strip =  length * width = 2*x = 2x

Area of square piece of paper when  rectangular strip is taken away from it

= Area of square - area of rectangular strip

= x^2 -2x

It is given that Area of square piece of paper when  rectangular strip is taken away from it is 120 square units.

Thus,

x^2 -2x = 120\\=> x^2 -2x -120 = 0\\=> x^2 -12x +10x-120\\=> x(x-12) +10(x-12)\\=> (x+10)(x-12) = 0\\\\

Thus,

either x+10 = 0 or x -12= 0

x = -10 or x = 12

but length cannot  be negative hence neglecting x = -10

hence value of x is 12.

Hence,

Length of rectangular strip = 12

area of rectangular strip =   2*12 = 24

Area of square =  x^2 = 12^2 = 144

What would you do to solve the system?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

To decide whether to add or subtract,  determine if the values of the  coefficients are the same or opposites:

. If the values are the same, subtract the  equations.

• If the values are opposites or additive  inverses, add the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12x = 48 - 8y

10x + 8y = 38

Required

How to solve

Options (1) and (2) are incorrect because none of the options eliminate x or y.

For option (3),

- Check for the coefficients of x and y

- If they are the same (sign and value), then subtract; otherwise add

For instance:

12x = 48 - 8y

10x + 8y = 38

Rewrite the second equation

12x = 48 - 8y

10x = 38 - 8y

The coefficient of y are the same, so we subtract;

12x - 10x = 48 - 38 -8y -(-8y)

12x - 10x = 48 - 38 -8y +8y

2x = 10

x= 5

<em>See that y has been eliminated</em>

The shed is filled with sawdust whose density (kg/m3) at any point is proportional to the distance of that point from the floor.
postnew [5]
It is important to note that when we say proportional, the increase in the value of the independent variable (in this case, distance x) will also increase the value of the dependent variable (density, d). Using k as the proportionality constant, the answer to this question would then be,
                                        d = kx

Help me, please?????
Paladinen [302]

Answer: The equation is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x=3 and y= 5

Substitute the values for x and y

y=2x-1

5=2(3)-1

5=6-1

5=5

⇒The equation is true
