Answer:

x= -35.153846

Step-by-step explanation:

360=200-5(x+37)

360=195(x+37)

360=195x+7215

360-7215=195x+7215-7215

-6855=195x

-6855/195=195x/195

-35.1538461538=x

-35.153846=x

Answer:

The base and height of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garden is, <em>A</em> = 24 ft².

The base height of the garden are:

base (<em>b</em>) = 6x - 4

height (<em>h</em>) = x + 3

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times b \times h\\\\24=\frac{1}{2}\times (6x-4) \times (x+3)\\\\48=6x^{2}+18x-4x-12\\\\6x^{2}+14x-60=0\\\\3x^{2}+7x-30=0\\$

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

Compute the roots of the quadratic equation as follows:

$x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{ 2a }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{14^2 - 4(3)(-30)}}{ 2(3) }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{556}}{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ -14 }{ 6 } \pm \frac{2\sqrt{139}\, }{ 6 }\\x = -\frac{ 7}{ 3 } \pm \frac{ \sqrt{139}\, }{ 3 }\\x = 1.59661\\x\approx 1.60$
