Mathematics

d1i1m1o1n [39]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Length = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of a rectangle be x.

Width is 1 feet shorter than the length, b = x-1

The area of the rectangle is 12 sq feet.

The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = length × width

So,

x(x-1)=12\\\\x^2-x-12=0\\\\x^2-4x+3x-12=0\\\\x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\\\(x+3)(x-4)=0\\\\x=-3\ and \ x=4

Neglecting the negative side, the length of the rectangle is equal to 4 feet.

Simplify (5x2 + x – 11) – (3x² + 4x – 17)
tatiyna

Answer:

2 x^2 - 3 x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-(3 x^2 + 4 x - 17) + 5 x^2 + x - 11

-(3 x^2 + 4 x - 17) = -3 x^2 - 4 x + 17:

-3 x^2 - 4 x + 17 + 5 x^2 + x - 11

Grouping like terms, 5 x^2 - 3 x^2 + x - 4 x - 11 + 17 = (5 x^2 - 3 x^2) + (x - 4 x) + (-11 + 17):

(5 x^2 - 3 x^2) + (x - 4 x) + (-11 + 17)

5 x^2 - 3 x^2 = 2 x^2:

2 x^2 + (x - 4 x) + (-11 + 17)

x - 4 x = -3 x:

2 x^2 + -3 x + (-11 + 17)

17 - 11 = 6:

Answer: 2 x^2 - 3 x + 6
