let nwmber to be X
the number is 12 less than it's square,
so X=12-X^2
=> X^2+X-12=0
=> (X+4)(X-3)=0
=>X= 3, or X=-4
in math we don't usually take negative numbers into account so your number would be 3
The phrase has two parts:
Five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by
three times the sum of the number and eight
Let the number be x. Five times the sum of a number and eleven means 5 multiplied to the sum of x and 11. In expression this will be written as:
5(x + 11)Three times the sum of the number and eight means 3 multiplied to the sum of x and 8. In expression this will be written as:
3(x + 8)So, the overall expression will be:
So since the kitchens long is wide x 2 if you add the 2 longs it makes a wide so you end up with 3 wides technically. So you divide 84 by 3 and u get 28 so make your 2 wides 28. Then u divide 28 by 2 to get 14 so your longs are 14 and your wides are 28 if u add it all together it’s 84.
