All four sides of the original square have length s.

Adding 3 to s results in s+3, the length of the resulting rectangle.
Subtracting 3 from s results in s-3, the width of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle is (s+3)(s-3) = s^2 - 9 = 27,  

and therefore s^2 = 36, and s = 6 square units.

Evaluate f(x) = sqrt(5x + 4) for x = 12
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer is 8

Work Shown:

f(x) = sqrt(5*x + 4)

f(12) = sqrt(5*12 + 4) ... replace every x with 12

f(12) = sqrt(60 + 4)

f(12) = sqrt( 64 )

f(12) = 8
