Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation: I had this question before
I think the answer is 10 because:
6x2=12
12+2x-32=0
make the like terms together = 12-32+2x=0
= -20+2x=0
again make the like terms together = 2x=0+20 [sign changes when it goes to the other side]
so, 2x=20
x=20/2 [ multiplication will change into division when it goes to the other side]
therefore x=10
Answer:
68 feet square
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangle with the maximum area for a given perimeter is a square. The perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length, so the side length of the square area will be ...
(272 ft)/4 = 68 ft
_____
<em>More formally ...</em>
You can let x represent the length of one side. Then the length of the other side for the given perimeter will be 136 -x, and the area will be the product ...
area = x(136 -x)
The area function is a quadratic with zeros at x=0 and x=136. The vertex (maximum area) will be at the value of x that is on the line of symmetry between these points, at their midpoint: x = (0 +136)/2 = 68. This value of x makes the rectangle a square.
