Answer:
x = 2.5 inches. Or
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Length: 7 + 2x
Width: 5 + 2x
Note that you have to add x at each end of the picture and onto each part of the width.
The entire area is 120 square inches.
Formula
L*W = Area
(2x + 7)(2x + 5) = 120
Solution
4x^2 + 10x + 14x + 35 = 120 Subtract 120 from both sides. Add xs
4x^2 + 24x + 35 - 120 = 0
4x^2 + 24x - 85 = 0 Factor
(2x + 17)(2x - 5)
2x + 17 has no meaning. It will give - 8.5 which is not possible.
2x - 5 =0
2x = 5 Divide by 2
x = 5/2
x = 2.5
Note: I don't know which one the computer is looking for.
Answer:
Like terms are terms whose variables are the same.
We can only add them because if they does not have the same variable you do not actually know if the variables are equivalent and you will get the wrong answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ex: 4z,7z,108z,45z
Ex: 4w-2h+7a-2w
You can not add 4w and 7a because you do not know what the variables equal so you do not know the true number so add or subtract by.
Well just think 747 divided by 9
The first one is 0.97 the second one is 6
