X can be 3 because:
(3+1)(3)=(4)(3)=12
I believe that is the only possible value for x.
Good luck to you!

Answer:

x can be 3 or (-4) because

area of a rectangle= length × breadth

12=x×(x+1)

12=x^2+x

x^2+x-12=0

x^2 +4x-3x-12=0

x(x+4)- 3(x+4)=0

(x+4)(x-3)=0

(x+4)=0 or (x-3)=0

Therefore, x=(-4) or 3

Since, the dimensions of a rectangle cannot be negative, x=3.

Therefore, the width of a rectangle(x)=3 cm,

the length of a rectangle(x+1)=(3+1)=4 cm

Pls mark me as the brainliest.

Answer:

(a) So the top of the hill is 365 feet above sea level.

(b) Checkpoint 5 is 185 feet higher than checkpoint 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solution for (a):</u>

<u />

Checkpoint 2 is -218 feet above sea level.

The top of a hill rises 583 feet above Checkpoint 2.

The altitude of the top of the hill = -218 + 583 = 365

So the top of the hill is 365 feet above sea level.

<u>Solution for (b):</u>

<u />

Checkpoint 2 is -218 feet above sea level.

Checkpoint 5 is -33 feet above sea level.

Checkpoint 5 is -33 - -218 = 185 feet higher than checkpoint 2.

the area of a rectangular photograph is 35 square inches. If the width of the photo is 5 inches how tall is the photo
Vika [28.1K]
We know that:

Area= length*width

Plug in the stuff you know.

35= length(tall)*5

Divide both sides by 5.

7= length

The photo is 7 inches tall.

I hope this helps!
