<h3><u>The value of x is equal to 1.</u></h3><h3><u>6(x + 2) = 20x - 2</u></h3>
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
6x + 12 = 20x - 2
<em><u>Add 2 to both sides.</u></em>
6x + 14 = 20x
<em><u>Subtract 16x from both sides.</u></em>
14 = 14x
<em><u>Divide both sides by x.</u></em>
x = 1
Answer:
Let L be the length of the rectangle and w be the width of the rectangle.
"The lenght of a rectangle is one less than twice the width" means L=2W-1
Using perimeter formula of a rectangle which is P=2(L+W) you have:
P=2(L+W)
130=2(2W-1+W)
Solve equation above to find W
130=2(3W-1)
130=6W-2
130+2=6W
132=6W
W=22
From here you find L=2W-1=2x22-1=43
Only thing left is to find area A=LxW
I don’t know how those answers exist but the correct answer here is 10, 16-6 = 10 yds.
4 x 3 = 12
Make sure to give me a thanks!!
