Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown be y (x is used as times(multiplication) )

(y-17)x-6=-138

add /-6 to both sides

y-17x-6/-6=-138/-6

y-17=23

make y independent/add 17 to both sides

y-17+17=23+17

y=40

or in an easier way

-138/-6 =23

23+17=40

Answer:

The change in the area of the rectangle is 0 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we have to calculate the area of ​​the two rectangles that give us

first we have to know the formula to calculate the area of ​​a rectangle

a = area

l = length  = 12ft

w = width = 5ft

a = l * w

we replace the known walues

a = 12ft * 5ft

a = 60ft²

we do the same with the other rectangle, but first we have to calculate its sides

w = 5ft - (5ft * 20/100)

w = 5ft - 1ft

w = 4ft

l = 12ft + (12ft * 25/100)

l = 12ft + 3ft

l = 15ft

a2 = 15ft * 4ft

a2 = 60ft²

to calculate the change in the area we subtract (a - a2)

a - a2 =

60ft² - 60ft² = 0ft²
