Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms to one side
Simplify
Split the second term
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
Factor out the common term

The derivative of (x+1)^2, for this you use the chain rule, to get 2x+2.
Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this, we first need to look at the perimeter equation:
P=2L+2W
We don't know our length, so we can represent it with x. Since our width is 2 feet shorter than x, we can represent it with x-2. Now, we plug these values into our equation:
56=2x+(2(x-2))
Let's simplify what the width is by multiplying:
56=2x+2x-4
Now, let's combine our 2xs
56=4x-4
Now, we just need to solve for x in order to find our length and width.
First, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 4 to both sides:
56=4x-4
+4 +4
60=4x
Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 4 and x will be fully isolated:
60=4x
÷4 ÷4
15=x
Now that we know x, let's plug this into our previous equations:
L=x=15
<u>L=15</u>
W=x-2=15-2=13
<u>W=13</u>
To verify our answers, we can plug this into our perimeter equation:
56=2(15)+2(13)
56=30+36
56=56
After double checking our answers, we know that our length is 15 and our width is 13.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
Answer:
The graph is uploaded in the attachment.
The value of x is 2.625.
Step-by-step explanation:
- let us plot f(x), g(x) on y-axis
so, f(x)=y and g(x)=y.
- the first equation can be written as y=5-2x
- the general equation of a straight is y=mx+c
( where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept )
- now comparing given equation with the general equation mentioned above, the slope of first line is -2 and its y-intercept is 5
- the slope of second equation i.e, y=(2/3)x-2 is 2/3 and its y-intercept is -2.
- now plot the graph using above information.
(y-intercept is the the coordinate of a point where the line intersects y-axis)
(slope is the angle made by the line with the x-axis)
- by seeing the graph, the value of x is 2.625.
