Step-by-step explanation:
1. Distribute the -2. multiply-2 with 5x and 8. it will be -10x-16=14+6x. For me, i make small numbers negative or positive than big ones. Add 16 to both sides. it will be -10x=30+6x. Subtract 6x. -10x-6x=-16x. Divide both sides by 16. x=30/16= 1 and 14/16
let the width of the rectangle be x
area of rectangle is l*b
x * (x + 6) = 40^2
x^2 + 6x = 40^2
x^2 + 6x = 1600
x + 6x =√1600
x + 6x = 40
7x = 40
x = 5.7

Answer:
(3.) x = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the lines are parallel and cut by the same line, the angles within are equal as well.
Which means that...
Angle GE = Angle EFD
Therefore (2x-30) = (x + 15)
2x - 30 = x + 15
+30 +30 (add 30 to both sides to get rid of the -30)
2x = x + 45
-x -x (subtract x from both sides to get rid of the single positive x)
x = 45
I could be wrong but I got 28. I devided 420 by 15
