Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
use the distributive propriety to get 4c -12 = 8
divide both sides by 4 to get c-3 =2
Answer:
I think A, 24
Step-by-step explanation:
because 2 x 24 = 48
5x+40 factors to 5(x+8). Notice how distributing the 5 back through to each term in the parenthesis gives
5 times x = 5x
5 times 8 = 40
So 5*(x+8) = 5*x+5*8 = 5x+40
Therefore, the factors are 5 and (x+8).
The dimensions of the sandbox are 5 feet by (x+8) feet.
We don't know the numeric value of (x+8) since we don't know the value of x, so we leave it as is.

Approximate dimensions:



Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume width of rectangle is w ft
The length of a rectangular flower bed is 2ft longer than the width
so,
length =w+2

now, we can find area

now, we can plug it


we are given area =6
so, we can set it equal
and then we can solve for w


we can use quadratic formula


now, we can compare and find a,b and c
a=1 , b=2 , c=-6


we know that dimension can never be negative
so, we will only consider positive value
