Answer:
x = 20
Length = 20ft
Width = 12ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 240
x^2 - 8x = 240
x^2 - 8x - 240 = 0
x^2 - 20x + 12x - 240 = 0
x(x-20) + 12(x-20) = 0
(x+12)(x-20) = 0
x = 20
x = -12 (which we discard since x is a length)
So the dimensions are 20ft and 20-8 = 12ft
Answer:-19
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+5-(2x-3)=0
3x+5-2x+3=0
x+8=0
x=-8
substitute x into 3x+5 to find the length of MO
3x+5
3(-8)+5
-24+5
-19
So basically you are going to line up your equations (already done). Next, you will just add each term. So x + 3x = 4x, then 2y - 2y = 0 (we wouldn't put anything) then 7 - 3 = 4
So then we have all of our terms figured out and will have 4x = 4 then divide 4x by 4 to get x alone and then you will also divide the four that is by itself by four to equal one. So, your answer is x = 1. I hope that helps!
