Area=legnth times width
if legnth=x
and
area=400
400=x times width
wait
SQUARE painting
legnth=width
width=x
400=x times x
400=x^2
sqrt both sides
20=x
answer is 20 in
equation is
400=x times x
This is the concept of algebra, we are required to add up the terms given above, here we shall have:
3/(4x)+21/(8x)+26x+15
when we sum up we get:
27/(8x)+26x+15
=(27+208x^2+120x)/(8x)
The simplified form of the summation of the terms is:
(27+208x^2+120x)/(8x)
D. 15+18
Hope that helps!
