Step 1. Subtract 3/4 from both sides
x = 1/2 - 3/4
Step 2. Simplify 1/2 - 3/4 to -1/4
x = -1/4
5 3/5 is a mixed number but the improper fraction would be 18/5
Answer: Let length = 2x + 3
Let width = x
Area = 54 ft2
length × width = Area
x(2x + 3) = 54
2x2 + 3x = 54
2x2 + 3x - 54 = 0
(2x - 9)(x + 6) = 0
x = 9/2 and x = -6
x = 4.5 and x = -6
We accept x = 4.5 because length cannot be a negative value. Substituting this value into the dimensions:
width = 4.5 ft
length = 2(4.5) + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = (2+4)/(1-4) = 6/-3 = -2
passing thru (1.2)
y = mx + b
b = y - mx
b = 2 - (-2)(1)
b = 2 + 2
b = 4
equation
y = -2x + 4
