Answer:

Option A. x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3

Width (W) = x – 1

Lenght (L) =?

The area of a rectangle is given by:

Area (A) = length (L) × Width (W)

A = L × W

With the above formula, we can obtain the lenght of the rectangle as follow:

Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3

Width (W) = x – 1

Lenght (L) =?

A = L × W

(x² + 2x – 3) = L(x – 1)

Divide both side by (x – 1)

L = (x² + 2x – 3) / (x – 1)

Please see attached photo for explanation

L = x + 3

Thus, the length of the rectangle is x + 3

A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe, but she has only 1 5/8.
Lyrx [107]
Let's start out by tripling the original recipe to see how much butter Angie needs.

\frac{3}{4} * 3 = total
\frac{3* 3}{4} = total
\frac{9}{4} = total
2 \frac{1}{4} = total

So we need 2 \frac{1}{4} cups of butter, but Angie only has 1 \frac{5}{8}. Let's subtract what Angie has from the total to see how much more she needs.

2 \frac{1}{4}  -  1\frac{5}{8} = n
\frac{9}{4} - \frac{13}{8} = n
we will need the least common denominator for both fractions
\frac{2}{2} *(\frac{9}{4}) - \frac{13}{8} = n
\frac{18}{8} - \frac{13}{8} = n
\frac{5}{8} = n

So Angie need \frac{5}{8} cups more of butter for the recipe.

How do i find the value of x on this problem?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is

14/6 = 21/(3x - 12)                 Cross Multiply

14*(3x - 12) = 6*21                 Remove the brackets and combine

42x - 168 = 126                     Add 168 to both sides

42x = 126 + 168

42x =  294                           Divide by 42

x = 294/42

x = 7
