Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) o a rectangle is calculated as
A = lb ( l is length and b the breadth ), thus
x² + x - 12 ×
= 126 ← factor the quadratic
(x + 4)(x - 3) ×
= 126 ← cancel the common factor (x - 3)
(x + 4)(x + 9) = 126 ← expand factors using FOIL
x² + 13x + 36 = 126 ( subtract 126 from both sides )
x² + 13x - 90 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 18)(x - 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 18 = 0 ⇒ x = - 18
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
However x > 0 ⇒ x = 5
You need to find "two-fifths of 30." Of here means multiplication:
![\begin{aligned}\dfrac{2}{5}\cdot 30 &= \dfrac{2}{5}\cdot\dfrac{30}{1}\\[0.5em] &= \dfrac{60}{5}\\[0.5em] &= 12\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%5Ccdot%2030%20%26%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%5Ccdot%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7B1%7D%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%20%26%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B60%7D%7B5%7D%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%20%26%3D%2012%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
