Answer:

Multiply both sides of the equation by -2

Distribute -1/2 over (x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-\frac{1}{2}(x+4)=6

<em>Method 1</em>

Multiply both sides of the equation by -2 ------> <em>Step 1</em>

(x+4)=6*(-2)

(x+4)=-12

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

x=-12-4=-16

<em>Method 2</em>

Distribute -1/2 over (x+4)-------> <em>Step 1</em>

-\frac{1}{2}x-2=6

Multiply both sides of the equation by -2

x+4=6(-2)

x+4=-12

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

x=-12-4=-16

A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided in two by another fence parallel to one side of the playground. 568 fee
amm1812
<span>First, we write an equation to represent that the fencing lengths add up to 568 feet. we call the side of the fence that has three segments of its length x and the side with only two segments y. We write 3x + 2y = 568. We also know that the area of the rectangle is equal to xy, so area = xy. We put y in terms of x using our first equation and find that y = (568 - 3x)/2. We plug this into our area equation and find that area = (568x - 3x^2)/2. To find the maximum we set the derivative equal to 0 and end up with 0 = 284 - 3x. We solve for x and get 94 and 2/3. We then put that into our first equation to find y = 142. So the dimensions that maximize the area are 94 2/3 x 142.</span>
