Answer:

3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The premise is incorrect</em>.

The factorization of 6x^2 -5x -4 is ...

... 6x^2 -5x -4 = (2x +1)(3x -4)

The factor that is not 2x+1 is 3x -4.

_____

If you were to assume the premise is correct, the x-term of the remaining factor is 6x^2/(2x) = 3x, and the constant term is (-4)/(-1) = +4, suggesting the correct answer to be 3x+4. As we have noted above, this is wrong.

(Have your teacher show you how to work this problem and check the answer.)

If the length of a rectangle is 6 more than twice the width and the total perimeter is 84cm, what is the rectangle's length?

tino4ka555 [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 2×width + 6

84 = 2×length + 2×width

now using the first in the second equation :

84 = 2×(2×width + 6) + 2×width = 4×width + 12 + 2×width

84 = 6×width + 12

72 = 6×width

width = 12 cm

length = 2×width + 6 = 2×12 + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30 cm

The length of Ms. Ford's kitchen is 57.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- The kitchen is rectangular.

- Ms. Ford wants to buy 5 extra feet of wallpaper border.

- She buys a total of 62.5 feet of wallpaper border.

2. Therefore, to calculate the length of Ms. Ford's kitchen, you only need to substract 62.5 feet and the 5 extra feet of wallpaper border. Therefore, the result is:

$62.5ft-5ft=57.5ft$
