Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

put unknown as y

area of rectangle = width × long

y(y - 2)=48

y² -2y =48

u can use scientific calculator to find this

y²-2y-48=0

(y-8)(y+6)=0

y=8 y=-6

take the positive value and ignore the negative value

width=y-2 long=8

8-2=6

I hope this help you :)

Solve for x what is 4(3x-1)=24
Leto [7]
4(3x - 1) = 24

First, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 1 = \frac{24}{4} .
Second, simplify \frac{24}{4} to 6. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 1 = 6.
Third, add 1 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 6 + 1.
Fourth, simplify 6 + 1 to 7. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 7.
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x = \frac{7}{3} which is your answer.

Answer:

1.  y = 2x-4

2 y = -1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of the equation is y= mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

1.  y- 2x = -4

We need to solve for y

Add 2x to each side

y -2x+2x = 2x-4

y = 2x-4


2 y-3 = -1/2 x

We need to add 3 to each side

y-3+3 = -1/2x +3

y = -1/2x+3
