Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-2y=48, replace y with 4, 8x-2(4)=48, multiply, 8x-8=48, add 8 to both sides to remove the -8, 8x=56 and finally divide by 8 to remove 8 from x, x=7.
Answer:
none of the equations are true, B!
Step-by-step explanation:
8 isn't equal to 7
9 isn't equal to 8
and 125 isn't equal to 15 :D

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 7
Length = 4 inches , Width = 15 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>PART</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>:</em>
Area of rectangle = Length × Width
A = L × W
L = x - 3
W = x + 8
Therefore:
A = L × W
60 = ( x - 3 ) ( x + 8 )
( x - 3 ) ( x + 8 ) - 60 = 0
x^2 + 8x - 3x - 24 - 60 = 0
x^2 + 5x - 84 = 0
x^2 + 12x - 7x - 84 = 0
x ( x + 12 ) - 7 ( x + 12 ) = 0
( x + 12 ) ( x - 7 ) = 0
THEREFORE:
x = - 12 , x = 7
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
<em>PART</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>:</em>
L = x - 3
L = ( - 12 ) - 3
L = - 15
OR
L = ( 7 ) - 3
L = 4
THEREFORE:
Length can not be a negative number. Hence, L can not equal to - 15.
L = 4 inches
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
W = x + 8
W = ( 7 ) + 8
THEREFORE:
W = 15 inches
