Answer:
- x = 4
- length = 19 ft
- width = 11 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is given by the product of length and width.
A = LW
209 = (4x +3)(4x -5)
209 = 16x^2 -8x -15
224 = 16x^2 -8x
You could rearrange and use the quadratic formula at this point, but we elect to "complete the square".
14 = x^2 -(1/2)x
14 +1/16 = x^2 -1/2x +(1/4)^2 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient
(x -0.25)^2 = 14.0625
x = 0.25 ± 3.75 . . . . . . take the square root; add 0.25
Only positive values of x are useful here, so we have
x = 4
Then the dimensions are ...
length = 4x +3 = 4(4) +3 = 19 . . . feet
width = 4x -5 = 16 -5 = 11 . . . feet
do what is in the parenthesis first and you multiply first. 3x2 is 6. 6+3 is 9. 9-9 = 0
I think the answer is 0

Answer:
(-3,-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the first equation by three to match the second equations y-term
The y-terms cancel out
Add the x-terms with each other and the terms after the equal sign as well
Divide -57 by 19
Input your x-term (-3) into one of the two first equations and multiply
Either:
Simplify your terms
Divide
