Answer:

The porch is 17 ft by 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is

P = 4s where s is the side length

P = 4( 3x+2)

P = 12x+8

We know P = 14x-2

14x-2 = 12x+8

Subtract 12x from each side

14x-2 -12x = 12x+8-12x

2x -2 = 8

Add 2 to each side

2x-2 +2 = 8+2

2x= 10

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 5

The side  is 3x+2

                 3*5+2

                  15+2

                   17

The porch is 17 ft by 17 ft

Solve for x.<br> x-2/4 - x+3/3 = -2
exis [7]
The LCD is 12.  Thus, your 

(x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2 becomes  12((x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2), or

                                                    3(x-2) - 4(x+3) = -36

Then 3x - 6 - 4x - 12 = -36.  Combining like terms,

 -x = -36 + 18, or -x = -18, or x = 18.  

Check this result by subbing 18 for x in the given equation.

Please note:  You must use parentheses here as indicated to eliminate any ambiguity about order of operations and what divides into what.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

C) x2 + x = 306

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 + x = 306

x2 + x - 306  = 0

x2  + 18x - 17x + 18 * (-17) = 0

x ( x + 18) - 17 (x +18) =0

(x + 18) (x - 17 ) = 0

x = -18 or 17
