All you have to do is multiply your number and then add them together !!
Answer:
x= 3/2 or x=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 17 to the other side of the equation.
Next you divide both sides of the equation by 4.
You have your answer :)
x = -6, 8
Find the values of x by factoring, getting
(x - 8)(x + 6) = 0
Answer:
length is 17 in, width is 20
Step-by-step explanation:
let's shape this as an algebraic equation, where x= the length of one side.
since the width is 3 inches longer than the length, x will be the length and x+3 will be the width.
the perimeter is 74 in, and the perimeter is the added length of all sides. in a rectangle, 2 sides are the length and 2 sides are the width, so:
74 = 2x + 2(x + 3)
let's distribute the 2.
74 = 2x + 2x + 6
now, we combine the x's.
74 = 4x + 6
after this step, subtract 6 from the right to add it to the left side.
68 = 4x
finally, divide both sides by 4.
17 = x
perfect! now that we know the length, we just have to add 3 to find the width.
17 + 3 = 20
18-2[x+(x-5)]
18-2[2x-5]
18-4x+10
28-4x
-7+x or x-7 <-- Simplified version.
x=7 <-- What x equals.
