The notation x ≥ 0 means that a is greater than or equal to x (or, equivalently, not less than x, or at least x),; "not less than" can also be represented by the symbol for "less than" bisected by a vertical line, "not."
L=2W+2
W=(L-2)/2
A=LW, using W from above makes this
A=L(L-2)/2
2A=L^2-2L
L^2-2L-2A=0, given A=84
L^2-2L-168=0
(L-14)(L+12)=0, since L>0
L=14
The length of the rug is 14 ft
(W=(L-2)/2=6 ft)
Answer:
depending on the form of how your question is actually written .. The answer will either be :
x= -1
