Answer:

Length and the width of the rectangle is 15.5 inches and 8.5 inches respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length = 7 inches + Width

=> P = 48 inches

=> L = (7 + W) inches............. (1)

Perimeter 'P' is the sum of all sides of the rectangle 2 (L + W)

∴ 48 inches = 2 (L + W) .................(2)

Substitute for L in equation (2)

∴ 48 inches = 2 [(7 + W) + W]

48 = 2[7 + 2W]

48 = 14 +4W

48 - 14 = 4W

34 = 4W

W = 8.5 inches

Recall that: Length, L = (7 + W)

∴ L = (7 + 8.5)

L = 15.5 inches

Answer:

Width = 8.5 inches

Length = 15.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = W

Length = 7 + W

Perimeter = 2(Length) + 2(Width)

Substitute

48 = 2(7 + W) + 2(W)

Multiply

48 = 14 + 2W + 2W

Add

48 = 14 + 4W

Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation

34 = 4W

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

W = 8.5

Width = 8.5 inches

Length = 7 + Width = 7 + 8.5 = 15.5 inches

Hope this helps :)

Simplify completely quantity of x squared plus 7 x minus 30 all over quantity of x plus 10. x2 + 4 x2 ? 4 x ? 3 x + 3
GalinKa [24]

This looks like: \frac{x^2+7x-30}{x+10}

To solve this problem, you'll want to use the AC method to factor x^2+7x-30.

After factoring your expression will look like this:

\frac{(x-3)(x+10)}{x+10}

Cancel out the x+10 because they are common factors, so you are just left with the simple x-3.

Answer is:

x - 3
