Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=0, yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+8=5x+8
5x-3x+8=8
2x+8=8
2x=8-8
2x=0
x=0/2
x=0
Since y=x+3 (given)
Put value of y in equation x+y=(-3)
x+x+3=(-3)
2x=(-6)
x=(-3)
Put x=(-3) in x+y=(-3)
(-3)+y=(-3)
y=0
So, x=(-3)
y=0
The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.
W=S-2 and L=2S-3
And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.
S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:
S^2=(2S-3)(S-2) perform indicated multiplication on right side
S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6 combine like terms on right side
S^2=2S^2-7S+6 subtract S^2 from both sides
S^2-7S+6=0 factor:
S^2-S-6S+6=0
S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0
(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:
S=6 is the only valid value for S. Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...
W=S-2 and L=2S-3 given that S=6 in
W=4 in and L=9 in
So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.
