Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Answer:
(-6,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
If this is the system of equations here is how:
solve for 1 vairuble in the first equation, and plug that it to the other.
Remember
you can do anyting to an equaiton as long as you do it to both sidess
distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
commutativ property
a+b=b+a
distribute
3(4x-2)=12x-6
12x-6=9+2x+5
add 6 both sides
12x+6-6=9+6+5+2x
12x+0=20+2x
minus 2x
10x=20
divide 10
x=2
C is the answer because the fractions are not proportional.
