Hello,
Let's r the ration
We suppose x ≠0
x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)
x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6
x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2
Ration 3/2
First term: 4
-3 because you could eliminate the 3x by subtracting it by 3x
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>
The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units. Its width W is 6.5 units.
Write an equation to represent the perimeter in terms of the length L, and find the value of L
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
The length of rectangle is 10.5 units
<h3><u>
Solution:</u></h3>
Given that,
Perimeter of rectangle = 34 units
Width of rectangle = 6.5 units
Let "L" be the length of rectangle
<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given by formula:</u></em>
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>

Thus the equation is found
<em><u>Solve for "L"</u></em>

Thus length of rectangle is 10.5 units
