Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Answer :
Step by Step Explanation :
1. 6x - 30 - 4x = 12x - 15
2. 2x - 30 = 12x - 15
3. -10x - 30 = -15
4. -10x = 15
5. x = -10/15
6. x = -2/3 (simplified)
Answer:25
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 37.8
y=39.6
Use similar triangles. These used to be tricky back in the day.
