x = 10.22 in
Solution:
Width of the figure = x in
Length of the figure = (2x + 5) in
Area of the figure = 260 in²
<u>To find the value of x:</u>
<em>Area of the figure = length × width</em>
length × width = 260
(2x + 5) × x = 260
Subtract 260 from both sides of the equation.
Factor the above quadratic expression.
Quadratic equation formula:
x = 10.22, x = –12.72006
Dimension of the figure cannot be measured in negative terms.
Hence x = 10.22 in.
180 - 64 = 116
116 / 2 = 58 :)
Check: 58 + 58 + 64 = 180
5a^3 + 3b^4
insert the numbers into the equation.
5(4)^3 + 3(-5)^4
evaluate
5(64) + 3(625)
evaluate
320 + 1875
the solution is:
2195
