Question

a rectangular window dimensions areX by X +2 and window has a 3 inch frame all the way around the total area of the window and frame is 195 in

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of window = 9 inch

Width of window = 7 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Area of window and frame = 195 inch²

Frame width = 3 inch

Length of window = x + 2

Width of window = x

Find:

Value of x

Computation:

Length of window and frame = x + 2 + 3 + 3

Length of window and frame = x + 8

Width of window and frame = x + 3 + 3

Width of window and frame = x + 6

Area of window and frame = (l)(b)

(x + 8)(x + 6) = 195

x² + 6x + 8x + (8)(6) = 195

x² + 14x + 48 = 195

x² + 14x - 147 = 0

x² + 21x - 7x - 147 = 0

x(x + 21) - 7(x + 21) = 0

So,

x + 21 = 0 and x - 7 = 0

So,

X = 7

Value of x = 7

Length of window = 9 inch

Width of window = 7 inch
