Answer:

<h2>x =  -  \frac{17}{4}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 3(4x - 2) = 5(2x - 8)

Expand the terms in the bracket and simplify

That's

6x + 12x  - 6 = 10x - 40 \\ 18x - 6 = 10x - 40

Using the subtraction property subtract 10x from both sides of the equation

18x - 10x - 6 = 10x - 10x - 40 \\ 8x - 6 =  - 40

<u>Add 6 to both sides of the equation</u>

8x + 6 - 6 =  - 40 + 6 \\ 8x =  - 34

<u>Divide both sides by 8</u>

\frac{8x}{8}  =  -  \frac{34}{8}

<u>Reduce the fraction with 2</u>

We have the final answer as

x =  -  \frac{17}{4}

Hope this helps you

The length of a rectangle is 2 feet less than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 180 feet squared. Find the length an
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Width=10

Length=18

Step-by-step explanation:

The length is 2 feet less then twice the width

Let the width be x.

Then the length is 2x -2 based on the given information. Use this to make an equation since it is known that the area is 180feet squared.

x(2x-2)=180

2x^2 - 2x - 180 = 0

2( x^2 - x - 90) = 0

We now have a factorable quadratic.

2(x+9)(x-10)=0

So by zero product property, x=-9, x=10 Since a measure cannot be negative, -9 is an extraneous solution.

So x=10

Then the width is 10 and the length is 18

Hope this helps! Let me know if it is correct!
