Answer:

12 feet × 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 8x - 48 = 0

x² + 12x - 4x - 48 = 0

x(x + 12) - 4(x + 12) = 0

(x - 4)(x + 12) = 0

x = 4, -12

x = 4

New dimensions:

4 + 8 = 12

48/12 = 4

Answer:

4 ft by 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +8x -48

Set this equal to 0 to solve for the values of x

x^2 +8x -48=0

What two values multiply to -48 and add to 8

12*-4 = -48

12+-4 = 8

(x+12) (x-4) = 0

Using the zero product property

x+12 = 0   x-4=0

x=-12           x=4

We cant have a negative length

x=4

The area is 48

48/4 = 12

The other dimension is 12

sasho [114]

Answer:

i = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

3 - 2i + 8 = 23

3 + 8 - 2i = 23

11 - 2i = 23

11 - 11 - 2i = 23 - 11

-2i = 12

-2i ÷ -2 = 12 ÷ -2

i = -6
