Answer: x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

X/12 + 1/3 = -5/3

Find the LCM of the left hand side of the equation:

x + 4/12 = -5/3

Then cross multiply

3(x + 4) = -5/3

Open the bracket

3x + 12 = - 60

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation

3x + 12 - 12 = -60 - 12

3x = -72

Divide both sides by 3

x = -72/3

x = -24

Check:

-24/12 + 1/3 = -5/3

Find the LCM of the left hand side of the equation

-24 + 4/12 = -20/12

Divide by a common factor of 4

-20/12 = -5/3

The width of a rectangle is 3 feet less than it’s length. The perimeter of the rectangle is 98 feet. Find the dimensions of the
horsena [70]

Answer:

The length is 26 feet and the width is 23 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l represent the length of the rectangle.

The width can be represented by l - 3, since it is 3 feet less than the length

Set up an equation:

l + l + (l - 3) + (l - 3) = 98

Add like terms and solve for l:

l + l + (l - 3) + (l - 3) = 98

4l - 6 = 98

4l = 104

l = 26

So, the length is 26 feet.

Since the width is l - 3, we can plug this in for l to find the width:

l - 3

26 - 3

= 23

So, the length is 26 feet and the width is 23 feet
