400 in² = (20 in)²
The area of a square is the square of the side length.
The length of one of the sides is 20 inches.
(120x)^1/2 see attached photo for steps
<span>Simplifying
4(y + -3) = 6(y + 2)
Reorder the terms:
4(-3 + y) = 6(y + 2)
(-3 * 4 + y * 4) = 6(y + 2)
(-12 + 4y) = 6(y + 2)
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 4y = 6(2 + y)
-12 + 4y = (2 * 6 + y * 6)
-12 + 4y = (12 + 6y)
Solving
-12 + 4y = 12 + 6y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6y' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 4y + -6y = 12 + 6y + -6y
Combine like terms: 4y + -6y = -2y
-12 + -2y = 12 + 6y + -6y
Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0
-12 + -2y = 12 + 0
-12 + -2y = 12
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + -2y = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -2y = 12 + 12
-2y = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: 12 + 12 = 24
-2y = 24
Divide each side by '-2'.
y = -12
Simplifying
y = -12</span>
The roots are 3 and 17 so the distributed equation is
(x-3)(x-17)
distribute
x²-3x-17x+51
x²-20x+51
I hope I've helped!
1 : you would use a graduated cylinder . 2 : , you would use a yard stick or maybe a ruler if you are not able to find one. You can also use a meter stick.
