Answer:

Length=x+2

Width=2x-1

Area of garden =length×width

88sq.ft=2x-1 × x+2

88sq ft=2x^2+3x-2

2x^2+3x-2=88

2x^2+3x-2-88=0

2x^2+3x-90=0

2x^2+(15x-12x)-90=0

x(2x+15)-6(2x+15)=0

(x-6)(2x+15)=0

x-6=0

x=6 eq.1

2x+15=0

2x=-15(since length cant come in negative so it would not be the value of x)

Since x=6 according to eq. 1 ,therefore

Length =x+2

Length=6+2

Length=8..

Solve for the variable b. 5a(b - c ) = d

Liula [17]

5a(b-c)=d. Here, we are trying to isolate the variable b.
Divide both sides by 5a: b-c=d/(5a)
Add c to both sides: b= $\frac{d}{5a} +c$

Answer:

x = 36

y = 37.95

Step-by-step explanation:

By geometric mean property:

${12}^{2} = 4 \times x \\ \\ 144 = 4 \times x \\ \\ x = \frac{144}{4} \\ \\ x = 36 \\ \\$

By Pythagoras Theorem:

${y}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {x}^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {36}^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 144 + 1296 \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 1440 \\ \\ y = \sqrt{1440} \\ \\ y = 37.95$
