Area of a rectangle of length L and width W is A = LW.
Here, A = 60 ft^2 = (12 ft)(2x-3 ft). Let's find the values of x for which the area =60 ft^2, and then the values of x for which the area is greater than 60 ft^2.
60 = 12(2x-3) becomes 5 = 2x - 3 after dividing both sides by 12.
Adding 3 to both sides of this last equation results in 8 = 2x, so x = 4.
Does (12 ft)(2[4 ft] - 3) = 60? Does (12 ft)(5 ft) = 60 sq ft? YES.
The area of this rectangle will be greater than 60 sq ft if x>4 ft. (answer)
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample space ={S, U, M, M, E, R} = 6 outcomes. Event selecting S: P(S) =1/6 = 16.67% Event selecting U: P(U) =1/6 = 16.67% Event selecting M: P(M) =2/6 = 1/3 = 33.34% Event selecting E: P(E) =1/6 = 16.67% Event selecting R: P(R) =1/6 = 16.67%
