Answer:

L = (x - 2) meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle = (x² - 7x + 10) m²

The width = (x - 5) m

length = ?

Area of a rectangle = length × width

x² - 7x + 10 = L(x -5)

note L = length

divide both sides by (x-5)

(x² - 7x + 10)/(x - 5) = L

L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)

Factorize x² - 7x + 10

find the numbers you can multiply to give you 10 and also add to give you -7

The numbers are -2 and -5. Therefore,

x² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0

x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) = 0

(x-5)(x-2) = 0

Let us go back to our division

L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)

x² - 7x + 10 = (x-5)(x-2)

L = (x-5)(x-2) / (x -5)

L = (x - 2) meters

6= 1 - 2n + 5<br> How can I solve this equation
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6 = 1 + -2n + 5

Reorder the terms:

6 = 1 + 5 + -2n

Combine like terms: 1 + 5 = 6

6 = 6 + -2n

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 = 6 + -6 + -2n

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 = 6 + -6 + -2n

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 = 0 + -2n

0 = -2n

Solving

0 = -2n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2n' to each side of the equation.

0 + 2n = -2n + 2n

Remove the zero:

2n = -2n + 2n

Combine like terms: -2n + 2n = 0

2n = 0

Divide each side by '2'.

n = 0

Simplifying

n = 0
