P=2x+2y, y=(p-2x)/2
a=xy, using y found above in this equation gives you:
a=(px-2x^2)/2 we are told a=12 and p=16 so
12=(16x-2x^2)/2
24=16x-2x^2
2x^2-16x+24=0
2x^2-12x-4x+24=0
2x(x-6)-4(x-6)=0
(2x-4)(x-6)=0
2(x-2)(x-6)=0
So the table is 2 ft by 6 ft.
Let's assume time taken by plane on one way distance as 't'
The total flying time in both directions was 10.5 hr
so, time taken in other direction =10.5-t
now, we are given
A plane averaged 500 mph on a trip going east
so, total distance of one way is

total distance of other way is

now, we can that distance is same from both sides
so, we get

now, we can solve for t



now, we can find one way distance

miles..............Answer
I'm pretty sure the answer would be 4+4x
The answer is 240 :3
60+60= 120
120+60 = 180
and 60 more would be 240
60 fours would be 240
3 60's would be 180. So your answer is 240
