A rectangle is a quadrilateral and its area is expressed as the product of its length and width. From the given, we have:
Length = x + 2
Width = 2x - 5
Area = 54 cm^2
Area = Length x Width
Substituting the values,
Area = (x + 2) ( 2x-5) = 54
54 = 2x^2 - x - 10
2x^2 - x - 64 = 0
We can see that the equation above is a polynomial with a degree of 2 therefore we can usethe Quadratic Formula to solve for x. The quadratic formula will solve two values of x.
x1 = (-b + (√b^2 - (4ac))/ 2a = 5.91
x2 = <span>(-b - (√b^2 - (4ac))/ 2a = -5.41
Since, for this case, the value x should not result to a negative value for both dimensions thus x is equal to 5.91.</span>
The answer is 25 I think sorry if it’s wrong :)
-3 > x
The values that make this inequality true are those that are less than -3. The inequality does not include -3.
Answer:
the answer is 16 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to divide 20 and 1.25 and you will get 16 so the answer is 16
Answer:
(3, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - y = 6 → (1)
6x + y = 21 → (2)
Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y, that is
(6x + 3x) + (y - y) = (21 + 6), that is
9x = 27 (divide both sides by 9 )
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y
Using (2), then
(6 × 3) + y = 21
18 + y = 21 ( subtract 18 from both sides )
y = 3
Solution is (3, 3 )
