2x + 18y = 36
Solving
2x + 18y = 36
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-18y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 18y + -18y = 36 + -18y
Combine like terms: 18y + -18y = 0
2x + 0 = 36 + -18y
2x = 36 + -18y
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 18 + -9y
Simplifying
x = 18 + -9y</span>
Answer: 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2x + 16 = 3x + -12
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x = 3x + -12
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x = -12 + 3x
Solving
16 + 2x = -12 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
16 + 2x + -3x = -12 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
16 + -1x = -12 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
16 + -1x = -12 + 0
16 + -1x = -12
Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -16 + -1x = -12 + -16
Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -1x = -12 + -16
-1x = -12 + -16
Combine like terms: -12 + -16 = -28
-1x = -28
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 28
Simplifying
x = 28
Area of a square is side length ^2
To find the length of the side of a square from the area, that’s the square root of the area:
Length of side = sqrt(81) = 9 meters
Area of wall = length of side x height:
Area of wall = 9 x 5 = 45 square meters
Answer: 45 square meters
