Answer:
-2, -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1.875 ounces for each student
Given:
Length = x + x + 3 = 2x + 3
Width = 2 + x
Area = length * width
91 ft² = (2x + 3) (2+x)
91 = 4x + 2x² + 6 + 3x
0 = 2x² + 7x + 6 - 91
0 = 2x² + 7x - 85
(2x + 17) ( x - 5)
x = -17/2 or x = 5
Let x = 5 ;
length = 2x + 3 = 2(5) + 3 = 13
width = 2 + x = 2 + 5 = 7
Area = 13 x 7 = 91
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Perimeter = 2(13 + 7)
Perimeter = 2(20)
Perimeter = 20 feet of fencing
This is a linear equation in x.
So you need to group like terms

Let us group the x terms on the Right Hand Side of the equation and the constant terms on the Left Hand Side.

We can now simplify

Now let us divide both sides by 3.

This implies that

or

Let us our answer



Good we are right
Answer:
8.875
Step-by-step explanation:
The +5 and -5 cancel, so you are left with -69=2-8g. Subtract two on both sides to get -71=-8g then divide both side by -8 to get g=8.875.
