Let wedth = x
Length = 2x+3
Area = 54
Area = l X b
54= (2x + 3) X x
54 = 2 x² + 3x
The equation will be:
2 x² + 3x - 54
2 x² + 12x -9x - 54
2x (x+6) -9(x + 6)
(2x-9) (x+6)
We will use (2x-9)
2x-9= 0
2x = 9
x = 9/2
x = 4.5

Width = 4.5
Length = (2x +3)
Length = (2X 4.5 + 3)
Length = 9.0 + 3 = 12

Answer: Let length = 2x + 3

Let width = x

Area = 54 ft2

length × width = Area

x(2x + 3) = 54

2x2 + 3x = 54

2x2 + 3x - 54 = 0

(2x - 9)(x + 6) = 0

x = 9/2 and x = -6

x = 4.5 and x = -6

We accept x = 4.5 because length cannot be a negative value. Substituting this value into the dimensions:

width = 4.5 ft

length = 2(4.5) + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ft

What is the least common denominator of the equation 2/9x + 2/3x =7?
Igoryamba

Answer:

B) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

I mean 3 can't be a common denominator because 2/9 cannot be simplified. 27 and 63 are also common denominators but they higher than 9.

Hope This helps :)

Need help with this math problem
Andre45 [30]

Hey There!

First you would need to factor out the two.

-4x^3/2 = -2x^3

2x^2/2= x^2

12x/2= 6x

6/2= 3

Now we have.

-2x^3+x^2+6x+3 / x+1

We would then factor with polynomial division, and then we should have.

-2(2x^2 - 3x - 3)(x+1) / x+1

We would then cancel out the x+1

Therefore, the answer would be \boxed{-2(2x^2-3x-3)}

Hope this helped!

Use the following table to answer each question.
seropon [69]

Answer:

  • $47.33
  • $43
  • $50.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Using table calculating the mean for each case

1. Entire year, sample size 12

  • x = 1/12* ∑ xi, i= 1 to 12
  • x = 1/12(40+42+40+38+48+50+58+62+56+46+44+44)
  • x = 1/12*568 = $47.33

2. First six months, sample size 6

  • x = 1/6*∑ xi, i= 1 to 6
  • x = 1/6(40+42+40+38+48+50)
  • x = 1/6*258 = $43

3. April through November, sample size 8

  • x = 1/8*∑ xi, i= 4 to 11
  • x = 1/8(38+48+50+58+62+56+46+44)
  • x = 1/8*402 = $50.25

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (6, -5) and (6, —8)?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

(y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

use that formula. The answer should be -3/0 which doesn't make sense. Are you sure you have your x values correct? Since in that case it would be a straight line and the equation for that would be x = 6 since it is a straight line up with no y intercept.

Hope that helped

You could simplify it to 11x+12, but I'm not sure that's what you're looking for.
