Area = length x width.
24 = (x + 2)(x - 3) = x² - x - 6
x² - x - 30 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
We can eliminate the root x = - 5 because dimensions cannot be negative. So, the only valid answer is x = 6
The length = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 in.
The width = x - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 in.
Answer:
27is answer
Step-by-step explanation:
x+ x - 14 = 40
or, 2x = 40+ 14
or, 2x = 54
or, x = <u>5</u><u>4</u>
2
or, x= 27
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms.
Subtract 5 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 4.

The factors of 45 are:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45Which numbers multiply together to equal 45?
Answer:
x = -1, y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
6 + 4x - 2y = 0 (1)
-3 - 7y = 10x (2)
From (1)
6 + 4x - 2y = 0 (1)
4x - 2y = -6 (3)
From (2)
-3 - 7y = 10x (2)
10x + 7y = -3 (4)
4x - 2y = -6 (3)
10x + 7y = -3 (4)
Using elimination method
Multiply (3) by 10 and (4) by 4 to eliminate x
40x - 20y = -60
40x + 28y = -12
28y - (-20y) = -12 - (-60)
28y + 20y = -12 + 60
48y = 48
y = 48/48
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into (3)
4x - 2y = -6 (3)
4x - 2(1) = -6
4x - 2 = -6
4x = -6 + 2
4x = -4
x = -4/4
x = -1
x = -1, y = 1
The value of x in the equation is -1
