In algebra it is fully possible for x to equal to zero. After you have 2x, just divide both sides by two, so it would be 2 divided by 0 and than you would have x=0 and that would be your final answer.
2x + 1 = 4x +1
-2x +1 = 1
-2x = 0
divide by -2
x=0
Answer:
x = 3, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached,
If ΔADE and ΔABC are similar triangles, their corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.
By this property,
3x = 2x + 3
3x - 2x = 3
x = 3
Similarly, 
y = 
y = 6
Answer:
21 ft by 66 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
P = 2(L+W)............... Equation 1
Where P = Perimeter of the playing Field, L = Length of the playing Field, W = width of the playing Field.
If the Length of the Field is 45 ft longer than the width,
L = 45+W............ Equation 2
Substitute Equation 2 into equation 1
P = 2(45+W+W)
P = 90+4W............. Equation 3
Given: P = 174 ft.
Substitute into equation 3
174 = 90+4W
4W = 174-90
4W = 84
W = 84/4
W = 21 ft.
Substituting the value of W into equation 2
L = 45+21
L = 66 ft.
Hence the dimensions of the playing field is 21 ft by 66 ft
21 times 28 is 588 which is false
