Answer:

So you can cancel out the 16. See, the -16 is negative, and if we add +16 to it, then it cancels out and is 0. That way, you have x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

-16x+x=-15

+16x      +16

   0+x=1

       x=1

The area of a rectangular flower bed is 24 square feet. The perimeter of the same flower bed is 22 feet. What are the dimensions
Ray Of Light [21]

ANSWER

B. 3 ft by 8 ft

EXPLANATION

The area is given as 24 square feet.

This implies that,

l \times w = 24

The perimeter of the rectangular field is given as 22 feet.

This implies that,

2(l + w) = 22

Or

l + w = 11

We make w the subject in this last equation and put it inside the first equation.

w = 11 - l

When we substitute into the first equation we get;

l(11 - l) = 24

11l -  {l}^{2}  = 24

This implies that,

{l}^{2}  - 11l + 24 = 0

(l - 3)(l - 8) = 24

l = 3 \: or \: 8

When l=3, w=24

Therefore the dimension is 3 ft by 8 ft

Cloud [144]

Answer: x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 107=(9x-115)+(4x+27)

Step 1: 9x+4x-115+27=107

Step 2: 13x-115+27=107

Step 3: 13x-88=107

Step 4: 13x-88+88=107+88

Step 5: 13x=195

Step 6: 13x/13=195/13

x=15
