Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x - 5 = -3
add 5 to both sides
-2x = 2
divide both sides by -2
x = -1
Answer:
x = 7/2 or x = -8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
6 x^2 - 5 x = 56
Divide both sides by 6:
x^2 - (5 x)/6 = 28/3
Add 25/144 to both sides:
x^2 - (5 x)/6 + 25/144 = 1369/144
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 5/12)^2 = 1369/144
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 5/12 = 37/12 or x - 5/12 = -37/12
Add 5/12 to both sides:
x = 7/2 or x - 5/12 = -37/12
Add 5/12 to both sides:
Answer: x = 7/2 or x = -8/3
Answer:
Part a) Exactly values
The width of the rectangle is 
The length of the rectangle is 
Part b) Approximately values
The width of the rectangle is 
The length of the rectangle is 
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The area of rectangle is equal to

we have

substitute the values in the formula



so

Solve for x
Divide by 4 both sides

square root both sides

The solution is the positive value

therefore
<em>Exactly values</em>

<em>Approximately values</em>

Ahh ok so split it up into two rectangles:
Rectangle one:
A=lw
A=4(12)
A=48
Rectangle two:
A=lw
A=10(2)
A=20
Add both areas up to get 68 ft squared!! :)
