The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 15.
9x - 5x = 15x - 15
Collect all of the like terms on the left side of the equals sign.
4x = 15x - 15
Move the variable to the left side of the equation and change its sign.
4x - 15x = -15
Now collect the like terms on the left side of the equation for the second time.
-11x = -15
Lastly,, divide both sides of the equation by -11 to get your final answer.
\frac{15}{11}
This means that the correct answer to your question is \frac{15}{11},, or 1\frac{4}{11} simplified.

A rectangular parking lot has a length 20 H more
leva [86]

Let the width = X

The length would be X + 20

Area = Length x width:

2400 = x * (x+20)

Simplify:

2400 = x^2 + 20x

Subtract 2400 from both sides:

x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0

Factor:

(x-40) (x+60) = 0

Solve for both x's:

x = 40 and x = -60

The dimensions of a parking lot have to be positive values so you would use x = 40.

The width = x = 40

The length = x +20 = 40+20 = 60

The dimension of the parking lot is 40H x 60H
