15x^2 = 12x
divide each side by x
15x = 12
now divide each side by 15
x = 12/15 or 4/5 which is also 0.8

How do you solve this?
puteri [66]

Answer:

Width: 7

Length: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found my multiplying the length by the width. We do not know neither the length nor the width. However, we do know that the length is 7 feet longer than the width. Because we do not know the value of either side, let's let x represent the width.

Since the length is 7 feet longer, we can represent the length by x+7.

Now that we have our values for the length and the width we can multiply them together to find our area.

(x)(x+7)=x^{2} +7x

Now we have our equation, so we can address the changes made by the original question. The original question states that when 7 is added to both the length and width the area becomes 3 times larger. To do so simply increase each side by 7 by adding 7 to the original values.

(x+7)(x+14)

And multiply our area by 3.

3(x^{2} +7x)

set these equal to each other to find your new equation.

(x+7)(x+14)=3(x^{2} +7x)

Now you need to solve for x. To do this first muliply (x+7) and (x+14).

(x+7)(x+14)=\\x^{2} +14x+7x+98=\\x^{2} +21x+98

Then multiply 3(x^{2} +7x)

3(x^{2} +7x)=\\3x^{2} +21x

Now you can begin solving for x.

x^{2} +21x+98=3x^{2} +21x

Subtract x^{2} from both sides.

21x+98=2x^{2} +21x

Subtract 21x from both sides.

98=2x^{2}

Divide by 2.

49=x^{2}

And finally take the sqaure root of both sides.

\sqrt{x^{2} }=\sqrt{49}\\x=7

Remember, because we are dealing with length, there cannot be negative. So while normally we would get both +7 <em>and</em> -7, in this case we <em>only </em>get +7.

Now that we have the value of x, we can plug it into our original values.

For width we simply get 7.

For length we get 7+7=14

To check our answer we cna multiply 7 by 14 to get 98. Then we can add 7 to our length and width to get 14 and 21. Multiply these together and we get 294. 294 divided by 3 is 98, proving our answer correct.

11. Write the equation in slope intercept form that has a slope of -23 and passes through the point (-1, 2).
insens350 [35]
11. y = -23x - 21

You can get this by starting with y = mx + b (slope intercept form). Then put in all the knowns and solve for the b. 

2 = -23(-1) + b
2 = 23 + b
-21 = b

Then add that to the end of the equation with m = -23

12. -5

The y-intercept of an equation is always the number added on at the end of an equation. It is also the number with no x attached to it. 

13. 8x^9y^6

When you use the law of exponents, you need to make sure the exponent goes to each individual term. When we cube the 2, it becomes 8. When you cube x^3, you get x^3*x^3*x^3 or x^9. And with y^2 you get y^6
