Answer:

The length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

The length can be represented by 2w + 2

Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in the area and the expressions for the length and width:

A = lw

24 = (2w + 2)(w)

Simplify and solve for w:

24 = 2w² + 2w

2w² + 2w - 24

Divide everything by 2:

w² + w - 12

Factor:

(w + 4)(w - 3)

Set equal to 0 and solve for each factor:

w + 4 = 0

w = -4

w - 3 = 0

w = 3

Since the width cannot be negative, the width has to be 3.

Next, find the length by plugging in 3 as w:

2w + 2

2(3) + 2

= 8

So, the length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

(10 points) <br> Solve for x. Assume that the lines which appear to be tangent are tangent
Ganezh [65]

The two tangent lines for each circle are the same length. Set the equations to equal and solve for x.

1. 4x + 3 = 3x +12

Subtract 3x from each side:

x +3 = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 9

2. -2 + x = 2x -7

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-2 - x =  -7

Add 2 to each side:

-x = -5

Multiply both sides by -1:

x = 5
