Answer:
x = 2.5 inches. Or
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Length: 7 + 2x
Width: 5 + 2x
Note that you have to add x at each end of the picture and onto each part of the width.
The entire area is 120 square inches.
Formula
L*W = Area
(2x + 7)(2x + 5) = 120
Solution
4x^2 + 10x + 14x + 35 = 120 Subtract 120 from both sides. Add xs
4x^2 + 24x + 35 - 120 = 0
4x^2 + 24x - 85 = 0 Factor
(2x + 17)(2x - 5)
2x + 17 has no meaning. It will give - 8.5 which is not possible.
2x - 5 =0
2x = 5 Divide by 2
x = 5/2
x = 2.5
Note: I don't know which one the computer is looking for.
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
the normal equation is 120 and c is 120
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Eqn. 1 ----> 4y = x
Eqn. 2 ----> 5x-10y = -50
(Simplifying eqn.2 further)
(Substituting the value of x from eqn. 1)
Now, substituting the value of y in eqn. 1 ,
Answer:
16 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
4 x 4 = 16
