How is Solve this equation M + A = 68 and M = A + 24
1 answer:
Hi there! :)
We can solve by setting both equations equal to the same variable.
We are given that M + A = 68 and M = A + 24. The easiest variable to set both equal to would be M.
Rearrange the first equation by subtracting A from both sides:
M = -A + 68
Now that both equations equal to M, we can set the two equal to each other:
-A + 68 = A + 24
Add A to both sides:
68 = 2A + 24
Subtract 24 from both sides:
44 = 2A
Divide both sides by 2:
A = 22.
Plug this back into an equation to solve for M:
M + 22 = 68
M = 68 - 22
M = 46.

Area of rectangle = 408 in²
Length = 3x-2 and width = x
The area of a rectangle is given by :
A = lb
(3x-2)x = 408
x = 12 inch and x = -11.33 in
Neglecting negative value,
The width of rectangle = 12 inch
The length of rectangle = 3x-2 = 3(12)-2 = 34 inch

Base of triangle = 2x+2
Height = x
The area of a triangle is given by :
x = 24 cm and x = -25 cm
Neglecting negative value, x = 24 cm
Base = 2x+2 = 2(24)+2 = 50 cm
Hence, this is the required solution.
