Answer:

bx = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2(bx - 5) = 16

- 2bx + 10 = 16

- 2bx + 10 - 10 = 16 - 10

- 2bx = 6

- 2bx ÷ - 2 = 6 ÷ - 2

bx = - 3

Answer:

$Length =5$

$Width = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length =x$

$Width = x -3$

$Area = 10$

$x(x-3) =10$

Required

Complete the expression to determine the dimension of a rectangle

We have:

$x(x-3) =10$

Open bracket

$x^2 -3x = 10$

Equate to 0

$x^2 -3x - 10 =0$

Expand

$x^2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0$

Factorize

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

Factor out x + 2

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

Solve for x

$x - 5 = 0$ or $x + 2 = 0$

$x = 5$ or $x = -2$

The value of x cannot be negative

So:

$x = 5$

Recall that:

$Length = x$

$Width = x - 3$

So:

$Length =5$

$Width = 2$ ---- i.e. 5 - 3
