The Answer should be C) 40.5 feet
|x-8| = 16
⇒ x-8= 16 or x-8= -16
⇒ x= 16+ 8 or x= -16+ 8
⇒ x= 24 or x= -8
Final answer: x= 24 or x= -8~
You put 3 shapes together I believe
The minimum value is the lowest point of a graphed line. The would be the bottom of the "U" shape.
Looking at the graph you can see that the bottom of the U is touching the horizontal line at x = -5.5, so this would be the minimum value.
The lowest part of the line is at -5.5
Given: A= 14 ft² and l= 2w-3
formula for area of a rectangle is A=lw
substitute for what you know and simplify:
14=(2w-3)w -> w= either -2 or 7/2 but because a width value can not be negative you can eliminate the -2 value. w=7/2
subsitute width into equation for length and solve
l=2w-3= 2(7/2)-3= 4
width: 3.5 ft
length: 4 ft
