Answer:

y = $\frac{x}{x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x(y + 2) = 3x + y ← distribute parenthesis on left side

xy + 2x = 3x + y ( subtract 2x from both sides )

xy = x + y ( subtract y from both sides )

xy - y = x ← factor out y from each term on the left side )

y(x - 1) = x ← divide both sides by (x - 1)

y = $\frac{x}{x-1}$

Ann [662]

Answer:

$width=10\sqrt{15}\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

-A rectangle's area is given by:

$A=lw\\\\l=length\\w=width$

Given A= $30\sqrt{3750}$ and $l=3\sqrt{250}$ , we substitute in the formula to solve for the width as follows:

$A=lw\\\\30\sqrt{3750}=3\sqrt{250}\times w\\\\w=\frac{30\sqrt{3750}}{3\sqrt{250}}\\\\w=10\frac{\sqrt{3750}}{\sqrt{250}}\\\\=10\times \sqrt{\frac{3750}{250}}\\\\=10\sqrt{15}\ in$

Hence , the rectangle's width is $10\sqrt{15}\ in$
