Answer:

With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.

The width of a rectangle is 6 kilometers less than twice its length. if its area is 108 square kilometers, find the dimensions

Art [367]

Hi there!

Answer:
length = 9 kilometres
Width = 12 kilometres

Let's solve this problem step by step!
To find our answer we need to set up and solve an equation.

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by x.
The width of the rectangle can therefore be expressed by 2x - 6.

The area of a rectangle can be found by using the formula:
A = width × length

Plug in the data from the formula
A = x (2x - 6).

Simplify using rainbow technique.
$x(2x - 6) = 2 {x}^{2} - 6x$

Now we've found the simplified expression that expresses the area of the rectangle. Therefore, we can now set up and start solve the equation.

$2 {x}^{2} - 6x = 108$
Subtract 108

$2 {x}^{2} - 6x - 108 = 0$
Divide by 2.

${x}^{2} - 3x - 54$
$(x - 9)(x + 6) = 0$
Rule AB = 0, gives A is 0 or B is 0.

$x - 9 = 0 \\ x = 9 \\ \\ x + 6 = 0 \\ x = - 6$

The length of the rectangle, which was represented by x, must be 9 (since it cannot be a negative number).

Length
$x = 9$
Width
$2x - 6 = 2 \times 9- 6 = 18 - 6 = 12$

Answer:
length = 9 kilometres
Width = 12 kilometres

Please choose the answer that describes the scientific notation for 5,098,000.

avanturin [10]

Scientific notation is the representation of a number in a power of ten, with a sequence of digits placing the comma after the first digit, and the power or then that is mathematically consistent with the number. For example 400 is 4.00 * 10^2; 3100 is 3.100 * 10^4; 13421 = 1.3421 * 10 ^4. It is important that you have only one digit before the comma. So, 5,098,00 is 5.098 * 1,000,00 = 5.098 * 10^6. <span>The answer is the option c. 5.098 * 10^6.</span>
