You would divide 24 by 5 so the length would end up being: 4.8 in
Hope it helps!
Z=72, i was working on it and that’s what i got
Answer: x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
- Multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
- Now you must make the equation equal to zero as following:
- Factor it, as you can see below. Therefore, you obtain the following result:
area = width * length
or
A = W * L
55 = W * (W+6)
solve for width:
0 = W^2 + 6W - 55
this is a quadratic and has two solutions -11 and 5
a length can only be non-negative so discard -11.
width W = 5 miles
now the length is 5+6 = 11 miles
