108 = ( x)(48-x)
108 = 48x - x^2
48x -x^2 -108 = 0

I'm assuming you're doing solve the square right now, so you should be able to do the rest.

Okay, so we know the Perimeter is 48m and the Area is 108m²

the formulas you'll need are P = 2(w+h) and A = w*h (w = width and h = height)

so...     2(w+h) = 48               w*h = 108
            w+h = 24                   w = 108/h
            w = 24 - h                  h = 108/w
            <span>h </span>= 24 - w

Now we choose one of the variables (I'll pick w) and set the two corresponding equations equal to eachother.

w = 24 - h = 108/h

then, do some algebra to get  h² - 24h + 108 = 0

Recall that in the original question they told us that one of the sides is represented by <span>x. So, lets sub in x for h from now on. (I'll explain why at the end)

so,   x</span>² - 24x + 108 = 0

this is a qudratic equation and can be factored into (x - 18)(x - 6) = 0

set each factor equal to zero and solve for x

you get   x = 18   and   x = 6

the reason we subbed in x was because i knew we would get two answers and it might have been confusing to get two answers for h or w. With x though, you can now choose which value you want to assign to which variable.

to check this answer, you can go back to the top with the equations for perimeter and area and plug these numbers into the equation in any order and it should work.

if that all made sense, you should figure out that the dimensions will be 18m by 6m

Please help it's due today!!!!!!
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 3 equations.

3x + 8

5x - 20

and

5x + 4y

First lets solve for x using the first two

3x + 8 = 5x -20

Move the variables to one side

3x + 8 = 5x -20

-3x        -3x

8 = 2x -20

+20     +20

28 =2x

28/2 =2x /2

14 = x

Now we have x = 14

Lets plug this into the second equation to solve for the angle

3(14) + 8

42 + 8 = 50

5(14) - 20

70 - 20 =50

Now, lets plug the x and the angle into the third equation to find y

5 (14) +4y = 50

70 + 4y = 50

-70           -70

4y = -20

4y/4 = -20/4

y = -5

So now we have:

x = 14

y = -5

and the angle = 50

Hope this helps!
