x = - 1
given
= x + 3
square both sides
1 - 3x = (x + 3 )² ( expand right side using FOIL )
1 - 3x = x² + 6x + 9 ( subtract 1 - 3x from both sides )
0 = x² + 9x + 8
0 = ( x + 1)(x + 8)
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = -1
x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8
As a check
substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions
x = - 1 :
= 2 and - 1 + 3 = 2 ← true
x = - 8 :
= 5 and - 8 + 3 = -5 ← false
thus the only solution is x = - 1
Answer:
Area = L²-5L
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length * width
Length = L
Width = L - 5
Area = L * (L-5) = L²-5L
Answer: 14 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the total gallons Abdul's tank can hold <em>x</em>.
Then, based on the information given in the problem, you can write the following expression:

Therefore, when you solve for x, you obtain the following result:
