3 + 5x = 20 + 7x
First subtract 20 to both sides
-17 + 5x = 7x
Next subtract 5x to both sides (we are trying to get x all in one side)
-17 = 2x
Divide 2 to isolate the x
-17/2 = x or -8.5 = x
Answer:
The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ideal mechanical advantage is the ratio of length of longer lever
to that of shorter lever
IMA 
Please refer to the image attached.
We could see that the the resistance load moves
cm towards the fulcrum so the distance of resistance load from fulcrum 
Now the as the effort force moves
towards the fulcrum overall distance from the fulcrum to the effort force (load) 
Plugging the values of the distances in IMA formula we can have.
IMA
.
So the IMA of the fulcrum (simple machine) 
Answer: 0
Step-by-step explanation: it said round to the nearest hundredth when you just need 0.21 so 0.21 rounded to the nearest hundredth is going to be 0.

Answer:
Length = 16 inches and width = 12inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 192 in² . The width is 4 + 1/2x. therefore let x = length
Area = LW
192 = x(4 + 1/2 x)
192 = 4x + 1/2x²
384 = 8x + x² Multiply each term by 2 to make a
384 + 16 = x² + 8x + 16 Complete the square
400 = (x + 4)²

± 20 = x + 4
20 = x + 4 or -20 = x + 4
20 - 4 = x or -20 - 4 = x
16 = x or -24 = x reject the negative amount
Length = 16
width = 4 + 1/2(16); 4 + 8 = 12
