[PLEASE HELP] The area of Bethany's garden will be 48 square feet once she expands it. She is not going to change the measuremen

t on one side, but the other side will be 8 feet longer than before. The equation that models this situation and can be used to determine the possible dimensions of Bethany's garden is x^2 +8x -48. Factor to determine the possible dimensions of Bethany's new garden.

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

Which of the following equations is written in standard form?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Standard Form is ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are not fractions and a is not negative.

So, you can go through each of your options to see which ones work with those rules. 

A. 2.5x + 3y = 12   No, this is not in Standard Form. 2.5 can be rewritten as 2<span>\frac{1}{2}, menaing A is a fraction, which you can't have.

B. -10x - 3y = 1   No, this is not in Standard Form. A is -10, but A can't be negative.

C. 2x + 3y = 12   Yes, this is in Standard Form. It follows all of the rules.

D. 5x + 5y = 10   Yes, this is in Standard Form. It follows all of the rules.

So, C and D are both written in Standard Form.

the ages of two friends Sunaina and Tanish are differ by 2 years sunaina's father is twice as old as Sunaina and Tanisha is twic
nikklg [1K]

Let S represent Sunaina's age.

Let T represent Tanish's age.

So 2S - T/2 = 40, 4S - T = 80.

Either S - T = 2 or T - S = 2. Let's try both cases.

Either 3S = 78 or 3S = 82.

Since 82 is not a multiple of 3, S = 26.

So Sunaina is 26 years old and Tanish is 24 years old.
