Answer:
3a by 4a
Step-by-step explanation:
For dimensions L and W, the area and perimeter are ...
A = LW = 12a^2
P = 2(L+W) = 14a
Using the second equation, we can find L:
L +W = 7a . . . . . divide by 2
L = 7a -W
Substituting into the area formula gives the quadratic ...
(7a -W)(W) = 12a^2
W^2 -7aW +12a^2 = 0 . . . . arrange in standard form
(W -3a)(W -4a) = 0 . . . . . . . factor (find factors of 12 that total 7)
Then we have the two solutions ...
W = 3a, L = 4a
W = 4a, L = 3a
The rectangle dimensions are 3a by 4a.
Answer:
-8 is the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2(x-3)=-2(x-1)
1) Distribute 2 to x and -3:
5x+2x-6=-2(x-1)
2) Distribute -2 to x and -1:
5x+2x-6=-2x+2
3) Combine alike terms:
7x-6=-2x+2
4) Add 2x to both sides:
9x-6=2
5) Add 6 to both sides:
9x=8
6) Divide both sides by 9:
x=8/9
Answer:
1/20
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/5) ÷ 4
*remember, you don't divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the inverse (flip it upside down) of the second fraction.*
(1/5) × (1/4) = (1/20)
