Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has an area of x² + 7x + 12. Use factoring to find possible dimensions of the rectangle. Explain why you can use factoring to find the answer.

Solution:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (ha four sides and four angles) in which opposite sides are parallel and equal to each other. All the four angles in a rectangle are 90° each.

The area of a rectangle is given by:

Area = length * width

Hence the area is the product of two sides.

Given that:

Area = x² + 7x + 12

Factoring to find both the length and width of the rectangle:

Area = x² + 7x + 12

Area = x² + 4x + 3x + 12

Area = x(x + 4) + 3(x + 4)

Area = (x + 4)(x + 3)

After factoring we can see that the area is the product of (x + 4) and (x + 3). Hence x + 4 is the length and x + 3 is the width.

Solve the system using elimination.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

y=50 and x=-173/2

Step-by-step explanation:

52-2y=-48

∴-2y=-100

y=50

and 2x+3y=-23

y=50→(1)

2x+3y=-23→(2)

Putting y=50 in equation (2), we get

⇒2x+3y=-23

⇒2x+3(50)=-23

⇒2x+150=-23

⇒2x=-23-150

⇒2x=-173

⇒x=-173/2

∴y=50 and x=-173/2
